Solution
✅ Correct Option: 4
The ratio of rice varieties A, B, and C is 1:1:3.
This means:
- Rice A = 1 kg
- Rice B = 1 kg
- Rice C = 3 kg
Total weight = 1 + 1 + 3 = 5 kg
Let the price of Rice C = per kg
Total cost of the mixture:
- Cost of Rice A = 1 × 127 = Rs 127
- Cost of Rice B = 1 × 135 = Rs 135
- Cost of Rice C = 3 × = Rs
Total cost = 127 + 135 +
Total cost = 262 +
The price of the mixture is Rs 152 per kg.
Therefore, the price of rice C is Rs 166 per kg.
