Explanation:
Solution: Given: Cost of first variety = Rs. 45/kg
Cost of second variety = Rs. 48/kg
Price of mixture = Rs. 46/kg
Formula used: Rule of alligation:
(Quantity of cheaper/Quantity of dearer) = [(Cost price of dearer) — (Mean price)]/[(Mean price) — (Cost price of cheaper))
Using the rule of Alligation we get,
Hence the ratio is 1:2.
