A Man Buys Spirit At Rs. 60 Per Litre, Adds Water To It And Then Sell

1.	A Man Buys Spirit At Rs. 60 Per Litre, Adds Water To It And Then Sells It At Rs. 75 Per Litre. What Is The Ratio Of Spirit To Water If His Profit In The Deal Is 37.5%?
Answer» We have SP = 75 per LITRE Profit Per cent = 37.5% Hence ⇒ CP = SP × 100/(100 + 37.5) ⇒ CP = 7500/137.5 = 54.5454 Hence, to MAKE the CP from 60 to 54.54, Hence, REQUIRED RATIO is = 54.54 : 60 - 54.54 = 54.54 : 5.454 = 10:1 We have SP = 75 per litre Profit Per cent = 37.5% Hence ⇒ CP = SP × 100/(100 + 37.5) ⇒ CP = 7500/137.5 = 54.5454 Hence, to make the CP from 60 to 54.54, Hence, Required ratio is = 54.54 : 60 - 54.54 = 54.54 : 5.454 = 10:1

Answer»

We have SP = 75 per LITRE

Profit Per cent = 37.5%

Hence

⇒ CP = SP × 100/(100 + 37.5)

⇒ CP = 7500/137.5 = 54.5454

Hence, to MAKE the CP from 60 to 54.54,

Hence,

= 54.54 : 60 - 54.54

= 54.54 : 5.454

= 10:1

We have SP = 75 per litre
