Alligation

This is a wrong question and answer. Mixture price is always between 20 and 30( individual price).
If u take 3:5
3×20=60
5×30=150
Total 210
8×17.50 = 140
Means CP 210 and SP is 14its not worth. Its a loss.
Thank you

WRONG ANSWER

CHEAPER PRICE IS 20, DAERER PRICE IS 30, MIXTURE PRICE IS 17.50
Let''s SUBTRACT THE VALUE C-M=2.50, D-M= 12.50, PUT D UPON C AND DIVIDE 12.50/2.50= 5:1
