Three Types Of Tea The A, B, C Costs Rs. 95/kg, 100/kg And70/kg Respectively. How Many Kgs Of Each Should Be Blended To Produce 100 Kg Of Mixture Worth Rs.90/kg, Given That The Quantities Of B And C Are Equal?

Answer»

Let the quantity of tea a = x

Let the quantity of tea b = y

Let the quantity of tea c = z

Given : y = z ...... (i)

x + y + z = 100 ....... (ii)

Cost of Mixture = (Sum of Cost of INDIVIDUAL ITEMS in a mixture / TOTAL quantity of mixture)

90 = (95x + 100y + 70z) / (x + y + z)

90x + 90y + 90z = 95x + 100y + 70z

5x + 10y = 20z

5x = 20Y - 10y = 10y............................... (from Eq. (i), y =z )

x = 2y .................... (iii)

From Equation (i), (ii) & (iii)

x + y + z = 100

2y + y + y = 100

4y = 100

y = 25
