Answer» We know that, $(\FRAC{{{\rm{Cost\;price\;of\;unit\;quantity\;of\;cheaper\;SUBSTANCE}}\left( {\rm{c}} \right)}}{{{\rm{Cost\;price\;of\;unit\;quantity\;of\;dearer\;substance}}\left( {\rm{d}} \right)}} = \frac{{{\rm{MEAN\;price}} - {\rm{c}}}}{{{\rm{d}} - {\rm{Mean\;price}}}})$ For CP of 1st variety sugar, 9.6 - 8.2 = 1.4 For CP of 2nd variety sugar, 8.2 - 6.6 = 1.6 Quantity of 1st type of sugar ? Quantity of 2nd type of sugar = 1.4 ? 1.6 = 7 ? 8 Quantity of 1st type of sugar ? 56 = 7 ? 8 Quantity of 1st type of sugar = 49 The difference between the both quantities = 56 - 49 = 7 ∴ the required difference between 1st type of sugar and 2nd type of sugar is 7 |
