    Study Notes

    Alligation Rules and Concepts

    • The rule of alligation is used to find the ratio of the quantities of two or more ingredients at different prices that are mixed together to produce a mixture at a given price.

    Purpose of Mixture and Alligation Questions

    • Mixture and alligation questions are used in competitive exams to test a candidate's ability to apply mathematical concepts to real-world problems, particularly in scenarios involving business, trade, and economics.

    Mean Price in Alligation

    • The mean price represents the average price of a mixture, which is the weighted average of the prices of the individual ingredients.

    Key Point to Note about Alligation

    • In alligation, the ratio of the quantities of the ingredients can be found by using the rule of alligation, which involves subtracting the mean price from the prices of the individual ingredients and then taking the ratio of the resulting values.

    Mixture Definition

    • A mixture is a combination of two or more ingredients of different prices that are mixed together to produce a new product at a specific price.
