in what ratio should a variety of wheat costing rs . 3 per kg be mixed with another variety of wheat costing rs . 6.25 per kg to obtain a mixture costing rs . 4.50 per kg ?
let us say the ratio of the quantities of cheaper and dearer varieties = x : y by the rule of allegation , x / y = ( 6.25 - 4.50 ) / ( 4.50 - 3 ) = 7 / 6 answer : b
divide(add(6.25, divide(divide(4.5, 3), const_2)), add(4.5, divide(4.5, 3)))
