A) Rs. 19.50 B) Rs. 19
C) Rs. 18 D) Rs. 18.50
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 18

Explanation:

Let the price of the mixed variety be Rs. x per kg. By the rule of alligation, we have :

 

Cost of 1 kg of type 1 rice           Cost of 1 kg of type 2 rice  

 

 

 

 

(20-x)/(x-15) = 2/3 

 60 - 3x = 2x - 30

  x = 18.
