If some kg type A dal and 2 kg of type B dal are added to the mixture then the ratio of type A to type B dal becomes 5 : 3. What quantity of a newly formed mixture of dal? Correct Answer 72 kg
Type A dal in 60kg dal mixture = 60 × 7/12 = 35kg
Type B dal in 60kg dal mixture = 60 × 5/12 = 25kg
Let type A dal added into the mixture be A kg.
Then,
⇒ (35 + A) : (25 + 2) = 5 : 3
⇒ 105 + 3A = 135
⇒ A = 10
∴ New quantity of mixer formed = (35 + 10) + (25 + 2) = 72kg
