Question 1:
In what ratio,water must be mixed with fruit juice costing Rs.24 per litre so that the juice would be worth of Rs.20 per litre?
A. 1:4
B. 1:5
Feedback Cost of 1 litre of water = Rs.0 = cheaper quantity.
Cost of 1 litre of juice = Rs.24 = dearer quantity.
And, the mean price = m = Rs.20
Therefore, (Cheaper quantity) : (Dearer quantity) = (d - m) : (m - c) = 4:20 = 1:5
Hence, the required answer is 1:5.
C. 1:6
D. 2:5
