Q:

The cost of Type 1 rice is Rs. 15 per kg and Type 2 rice is Rs.20 per kg. If both Type 1 and Type 2 are mixed in the ratio of 2 : 3, then the price per kg of the mixed variety of rice is

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

$\Rightarrow$ 60 - 3x = 2x - 30

$\Rightarrow$ x = 18.
