How many kilogram of sugar costing Rs. 9 per kg must be mixed with 27 kg of sugar costing Rs. 7 per kg so that there may be a gain of 10% by selling the mixture at Rs. 9.24 per kg?

S.P. of 1 kg of mixture = Rs. 9.24, Gain 10%.

C.P. of 1 kg of mixture = Rs.		100	x 9.24		= Rs. 8.40
		110

By the rule of allilation, we have:

 Ratio of quantities of 1^st and 2^nd kind = 14 : 6 = 7 : 3.

Let x kg of sugar of 1^st be mixed with 27 kg of 2^nd kind.

Then, 7 : 3 = x : 27

x =		7 x 27		= 63 kg.
