In what ratio water must be added to dilute honey costing ₹300 per litre so that the resulted syrup would be worth ₹250 per litre?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Water costs ₹0 per litre and honey ₹300; the mean price is ₹250.

By alligation, water : honey == (300 − 250) : (250 − 0) == 50 : 250 == 1 : 5.
