Rice worth ₹96 per kg and ₹104 per kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2. If the mixture is worth ₹113 per kg, the price of the third variety of rice per kg will be:
Explanation:
Let the quantity mixed of each variety is 1 kg, 1kg and 2 kgs respectively.
Total quantity = 4 kgs
Total cost = 4 × 113 = 1 × 96 + 1 × 104 + 2 × P
⇒ 452 - 96 - 104 = 2P
⇒ P = 252/2 = Rs. 126
Hence, option (c).
