    The ratio of the quantities of sugar, in which sugar costing Rs. 20 per kg and Rs. 15 per kg should be mixed so that there will be neither loss nor gain on selling the mixed sugar at the rate of Rs. 16 per kg, is

    A) 2 : 1                             

    B) 1 : 2      

    C) 4 : 1                             

    D) 1 : 4

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let x kg of sugar costing Rs. 20/kg and y kg of sugar costing Rs. 15/kg are mixed. According to the question,             \[20x+15y=16(x+y)\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[20x+15y=16x+16y\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[20x-16y=16y-15y\]      \[\Rightarrow \]   \[4x=y\] \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{4}\]
