Selling price of mixture = Rs. 11 at 10% profit ⇒ Cost price of 1 litre of mixture =
11
100+10
×100= Rs. 10 Let cost of liquid X = Rs. , ⇒ Cost of liquid y=Rs.(x−2) The liquids are mixed in the ratio of 3 : 2. In 5 liters of the mixture, 3 liters will be first liquid and 2 liters will be the second liquid. Thus, cost of 5 litres of mixture = 3x+2(x−2)=5×10 ⇒ 3x+2x−4=50 ⇒ 5x=50+4=54 ⇒ x=
