Mixtures and Alligation:


Formulas, Tricks, Examples
and Online Test

‘Mixtures and Alligations’ is about mixing di erent


objects in order to get desired
levels/percentage/concentration of di erent objects.

As the dictionary meaning of Alligation (mixing) , we


will deal with problems related to mixing of di erent
compounds or quantities. The concept of alligation
and weighted average are the same.

Types of mixture
Simple Mixture: When two di erent ingredients
are mixed together, it is known as a simple
mixture.
Compound Mixture: When two or more simple
mixtures are mixed together to form another
mixture, it is known as a compound mixture.

Alligation: Alligation is nothing but a faster technique


of solving problems based on the weighted average
situation as applied to the case of two groups being
mixed together. The word ‘Alligation’ literally means
‘linking’.

Example 1: If 100 ml water is mixed with 1000 ml of


milk, what is the ratio of the mixture solution?

Solution: Using basic percentage, total solution =


1100 ml,

Required Ratio (Water : milk) = = 1 : 11

This can also be read as milk solution 10 : 11, where if


milk is 10, water is 1 and total solution is 11.

Quicker Method to Solve the


Questions

This rule helps us in solving questions


where two varieties (of di erent
prices) are mixed to get a new variety
with a new Average price.
Then, (Cheaper quantity) : (dearer
quantity) = (d – m) : (m – c)

Example 2: In what ratio should tea at the rate Rs


40/kg be mixed with tea at the rate Rs 27/kg, so
that mixture may cost Rs 30 kg?

Solution: Using the above formula

So, the two should be mixed in the ratio .

Applications of Allegation Rule

To nd the mean value of a mixture


when the prices of two or more
ingredients, which are mixed together
and the proportion in which they are
mixed are given.
To nd the proportion in which the
ingredients at given prices must be
mixed to produce a mixture at a given
price.

Example 3: In what proportion must sugar at Rs


13.40 per kg be mixed with sugar at Rs 13.65 per kg,
so that the mixture be worth Rs 13.20 a kg?

Solution:

∴ They must be mixed in the ratio 9 : 4.

Price of the Mixture

When quantities Qi of ingredients Mi’s


with the cost Ci’s are mixed then cost
of the mixture Cm is given by

Example 4: 5 kg of rice of Rs. 6 per kg is mixed with


4 kg of rice to get a mixture costing Rs. 7 ker kg.
Find the price of the costlier rice.

Solution: Let the price of the costlier rice be Rs. x.

By direct formula,

⇒ 63 – 30 = 4x

⇒ 4x = 33
⇒x=

Alligation Rule for Compound


Mixture

Remember that in compound mixture, same


mixtures i.e. mixtures of same ingredients are mixed
together in di erent proportion to make a new
mixture.

Let Mixture 1 has ingredients A and B in ratio a : b


and Mixture 2 has ingredients A and B in ratio x : y.

Now, M unit of mixture 1 and N unit of mixture 2 are


mixed to form compound mixture. Then, in the
resultant mixture, the ratio of A and B is

(i)

And, Quantity of A in resultant mixture

Quantity of B in resultant mixture

(ii) When qA and qB are known and M


and N have to be found out
And, Quantity of mixture 1

× Quantity of resultant mixture

Quantity of mixture 2

× Quantity of resultant mixture

Removal and Replacement

(i) Let a vessel contains Q unit of mixture of


ingredients A and B. From this, R unit of mixture is
taken out and replaced by an equal amount of
ingredient B only.

If this process is repeated n times,


then after n operations

and Quantity of B left = Q – Quantity


of A Left

(ii) Let a vessel contains Q unit of ingredient A only.


From this R unit of ingredient A is taken out and
replaced by an equal amount of ingredient B.

If this process is repeated n times,


then after n operations,

Quantity of A left =

Quantity of B = 1 – Quantity of A left


Example 5: A dishonest hair dresser uses a mixture
having 5 parts pure After shave lotion and 3 parts
of pure water. After taking out some portion of the
mixture, he adds equal amount of pure water to
the remaining portion of the mixture such that the
amount of Aftershave lotion and water become
equal. The part of the mixture taken out is

1. 1/3
2. 1/5
3. 1/4
4. 1/6

Solution: (2) Let quantity of pure After shave lotion =


5kg

and quantity of pure water = 3 kg

∴ Total quantity of the mixture = 8 kg

Again let x kg of mixture is taken out of 8kg of


mixture.

Now, the amount of Aftershave lotion left = kg

and the amount of water left = kg

∴ The amount of water after adding x kg of water


becomes:

kg

According to question,

⇒ of the 8 kg mixture is taken out.


If in x litres mixture of A and B, the
ratio of A and B is a : b, the quantity
of B to be added in order to make the

ratio c : d is

Example 6: The ratio of water and milk in a 30 litres


mixture is 7 : 3. Find the quantity of water to be
added to the mixture in order to make this ratio 6 :
1.

Solution: In this example the ratio of water : milk is


given and water is further added. But in the above
formula ratio of A : B is given and quantity B is added.
So the formula in this changed scenario becomes :

Quantity of B added =

∴ Required quantity =

= 33 litres.

A mixture contains A and B in the


ratio a : b. If x litres of B is added to
the mixture, A and B become in the
ratio a : c. Then the quantity of A in

the mixture is given by and that

of B is given by .

Example 7: A mixture contains beer and soda in the


ratio of 8 : 3. On adding 3 litres of soda, the ratio of
beer to soda becomes 2 : 1 (i.e., 8 : 4) . Find the
quantity of beer and soda in the mixture.

Solution: Quantity of beer in the mixture = = 24


litres
and the quantity of soda in the mixture = =9
litres.
