Since Ratio in which A and B are mixed = 3 ? 1
⇒ Weight of metal A in 8 kg of alloy = 3/4 × 8 = 6 kg
⇒ Weight of metal B in 8 kg of alloy = 1/4 × 8 = 2 kg
∴ Cost of 8 kg of the alloy = 2000 × 6 + 400 × 2 = Rs. 12800
⇒ Weight of metal A in 8 kg of alloy = 3/4 × 8 = 6 kg
⇒ Weight of metal B in 8 kg of alloy = 1/4 × 8 = 2 kg
∴ Cost of 8 kg of the alloy = 2000 × 6 + 400 × 2 = Rs. 12800
