Rice worth ₹43/kg and ₹67/kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 2 : 1 : 5. If the mixture is worth ₹96/kg, the price (in ₹) of the third variety of rice per kg will be:
123
Let the price of the third variety be x. Using the rule of mixtures, we have: (2 × 43 + 1 × 67 + 5 × x) / 8 = 96. Solving for x, we get x = ₹123.
