An alloy is made by mixing metal A costing Rs. 2000 per kg and metal B costing Rs. 400 per kg in the ratio A : B = 3 : 1. What is the cost (in Rs.) of 8 kg of this alloy?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
Metal A = 2000 per kg
Metal B = 400 per kg

∴ Cost of 8 kg of alloy = By mixing 6 kg metal A and 2 kg metal B
Cost = 6 × 2000 + 2 × 400 = Rs. 12,800
Metal B = 400 per kg

∴ Cost of 8 kg of alloy = By mixing 6 kg metal A and 2 kg metal B
Cost = 6 × 2000 + 2 × 400 = Rs. 12,800
