A trader has two types of sugar: one at Rs.30/kg and another at Rs.50/kg. In what ratio should they be mixed to sell the mixture at Rs.40/kg without gain or loss?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
First type of sugar = ₹30/kg
Second type of sugar = ₹50/kg
Price of the mixture = ₹40/kg
Difference:
50 − 40 = 10
40 − 30 = 10
Ratio:
₹30 : ₹50 = 10 : 10 = 1 : 1
