1 ∶ 2

B.

3 ∶ 2

C.

2 ∶ 1

D.

1 ∶ 3

Correct option is B

Given
CP of Type 1 = Rs. 60/kg
CP of Type 2 = Rs. 85/kg
SP of Mixture = Rs. 84/kg
Profit =20% 20\%​​

Formula Used
CP of Mixture = SP1+P%100\frac{SP}{1 + \frac{P\%}{100}}​​

Solution
CP of Mixture = 841.20=Rs.70/kg\frac{84}{1.20} = Rs. 70/kg​​
Using Rule of Alligation:


Type 1 (60) ................. Type 2 (85)
................. Mean (70) .................

Ratio = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2
