Correct Answer: 3 : 1


Solution : Given:
Type 1 coffee powder costs = Rs. 2500 per kg
Type 2 coffee powder costs = Rs. 1500 per kg
The cost of the mixture = Rs. 2250 per kg
Using the rule of alligation, we get,

Required ratio = (Higher value – Mean value) : (Mean value – Lower value)
So, the required ratio = 750 : 250 = 3 : 1
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 1.
