Download Solution PDFGiven:
15 kg of sugar costing ₹11/kg
22 kg of sugar costing ₹12/kg
Formula used:
Cost per kg of mixture = \(\dfrac{(15 \times 11) + (22 \times 12)}{15 + 22}\)
Calculation:
Cost per kg of mixture = \(\dfrac{(15 \times 11) + (22 \times 12)}{15 + 22}\)
⇒ Cost per kg of mixture = \(\dfrac{165 + 264}{37}\)
⇒ Cost per kg of mixture = \(\dfrac{429}{37}\)
⇒ Cost per kg of mixture = 11.59
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
