Question

In an unnamed petrol bunk, kerosene is mixed with petrol. In what ratio kerosene must be mixed with petrol costing Rs. 48 per liter to get a mixture worth Rs. 32 per liter?

  • 1:2
  • 2:3
  • 3:4
  • 4:5
Answer- A

initially, the price of petrol is 48 rs

to get the price up to 32 rs, only 32rs of petrol should be added to the liter and the remaining must be kerosene which is for the balance 16rs

so kerosene and petrol is in the ratio 16/32 = 1/2
