solution (Question: 112266.0 )

why do you put such absurd questions in mock if u are also not able to answer correctly

Question:
A mass of gold and silver weighting 20 gram costs \(\unicode{x20B9} \)780. Had the weights of gold and silver are exchanged it would have cost \(\unicode{x20B9} \)920. Find the price of 1 gram of gold, if one gram of silver costs \(\unicode{x20B9} \)25.
Options:
A) \(\unicode{x20B9} \)25
B) \(\unicode{x20B9} \)40
C) \(\unicode{x20B9} \)50
D) \(\unicode{x20B9} \)60
Solution:
Ans: (d) Let the gold price of 1 gram =x

suppose y gram sliver and (20-y) gram gold

25y +x(20-y)=780

25y +20x-xy =780 -------- (1)

if the weight of gold sliver are interchanged

25(20-y)+xy =920

500-25y+xy =920

xy-25y =420 --------- (2)

add first equation and second equation

20x =1200

    x  = \(\frac{1200}{20}\) =   60

solve through alligation method its very easy

25 g 25 g

780/20 920\20
- 14 - 21


by comparing two cases ratio will be 3:2 so gold will be 8 gm and silver 12 gm. so value of gold will be 780-25*12 that is 480 \8 = 60.
