in what ratio should a variety of rice costing rs . 6 per kg be mixed with another variety of rice costing rs . 8.75 per kg to obtain a mixture costing rs . 7.50 per kg ?
"explanation : let us say the ratio of the quantities of cheaper and dearer varieties = x : y by the rule of allegation , x / y = ( 87.5 - 7.50 ) / ( 7.50 - 6 ) = 5 / 6 answer : e"
divide(divide(subtract(8.75, 7.50), subtract(8.75, 6)), subtract(const_1, divide(subtract(8.75, 7.50), subtract(8.75, 6))))
