Correct option is B
Given:
Rate of one quality of rice = Rs. 45 per kg
Ratio of their quantity = 3: 2
Concept Used:
The cost of the mixture is the weighted average of the costs of the two types of rice.
Solution:
Let the rate per kg of 2nd type rice be A per kg.
Let the quantity of 1st rice = 3x
and the quantity of 2nd rice = 2x
According to question,
45×3x+A ×2x=50×(3x+2x)
135x+ 2Ax = 50 × 5x
2A = 115
A = 57.5
Rate per kg of 2nd type rice be Rs. 57.5 per kg.
Alternate Method:
By using mixture and alligation concept.
