A trader mixes two varieties of pulses costing Rs. 72 per kg and Rs. 92 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 76 per kg, incurring a loss of 5%. In what ratio did he mix them?
Correct answer B. 3:2
Explanation
Cost price of mixture = 76 x 100/95 = Rs. 80. Cheaper : dearer = (92 - 80) : (80 - 72) = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2.
