A sample question from this test
In what ratio should tea costing ₹70 per kg be mixed with tea costing ₹75 per kg so that the mixture is worth ₹71 per kg?
- 3 : 2
- 4 : 1
- 3 : 1
- 1 : 5
Answer: B. 4 : 1. By alligation, cheaper : dearer = (dearer − mean) : (mean − cheaper) = (75 − 71) : (71 − 70) = 4 : 1.
How to approach this test
Alligation gives the ratio directly: (dearer − mean) : (mean − cheaper). Check that the mean price lies between the two prices.
This set mixes straightforward questions with a few that need an extra step, so it works well as a checkpoint once the basics are comfortable.
