What is the Mixture in Ratio? If
In what ratio tea A sold at Rs. 25 per kg be mixed with tea B sold at Rs. 45/kg, so that the mixture must be worth Rs. 35 per kg?
- 1:1
- 1:3
- 3:1
- 2:1
Answer: (a) 1: 1
Explanation:-
Selling price of 1 kg tea ’A’ = Rs.25
Selling price of 1 kg tea ‘B’ = Rs.45
Selling price of mixture of 1 kg tea ‘A’ and 1 kg tea ‘B’ = 25 + 45 = Rs.70
Thus, selling price of 1 kg mixture = 70/2 = Rs.35
Hence, the ratio of tea ‘A’ and tea ‘B’ = 1: 1
