Problem: tea worth rs . 126 per kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2 . if the mixture is worth rs . 153 per kg , the price of the third variety per kg
Rationale: "explanation : since first second varieties are mixed in equal proportions , so their average price = rs . ( 126 + 135 / 2 ) = rs . 130.50 so , the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties , one at rs . 130.50 per kg and the other at say , rs . x per kg in the ratio 2 : 2 , i . e . , 1 : 1 . we have to find x . cost of 1 kg tea of 1 st kind cost of 1 kg tea of 2 nd kind x - 153 / 22.50 = 1 = > x - 153 = 22.50 = > x = 175.50 . hence , price of the third variety = rs . 175.50 per kg . answer : c ) rs . 175.50"
annotated_formula: divide(subtract(multiply(153, add(add(1, 1), 2)), add(126, 126)), 2)
