    Question

    To create a mixture that costs ₹110 per kg , 30 kg of one type of rice is combined with 60 kg of another type of rice that costs ₹100 per kg.

    A.

    ₹120 per kg

    B.

    ₹125 per kg

    C.

    ₹130 per kg

    D.

    ₹135 per kg

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Quantity of Rice 1 = 30 kg
    Cost of Rice 1 = Unknown (Let's call it 'x' ₹/kg)
    Quantity of Rice 2 = 60 kg
    Cost of Rice 2 = ₹100/kg
    Cost of Mixture = ₹110/kg
    Formula Used:
    Cost of Mixture=Total Cost of Rice 1+Total Cost of Rice 2Total Quantity of Rice 1+Total Quantity of Rice 2\text{Cost of Mixture} = \frac{\text{Total Cost of Rice 1} + \text{Total Cost of Rice 2}}{\text{Total Quantity of Rice 1} + \text{Total Quantity of Rice 2}}​​
    Solution:
    Total cost of Rice 1 = 30 kg ×\times​ x ₹/kg = 30x ₹
    Total cost of Rice 2 = 60 kg×\times₹100/kg = ₹6000
    Total quantity = 30 kg + 60 kg = 90 kg
    ₹110/kg = (30x+6000)90kg\frac{(30x + ₹6000) }{ 90 \text{kg}}​​
    110 ×\times​ 90 = 30x + 6000
    9900 = 30x + 6000
    3900 = 30x
    x = 390030\frac{3900 }{30}​​
    x = ₹130/kg
    Therefore, the cost of the first type of rice is ₹130 per kg.

    Thus, option (C) is right.
