Program to solve the Alligation Problem
Write a program to find the ratio in which a shopkeeper will mix two types of rice worth Rs. kg and Rs.
kg, so that the average cost of the mixture is Rs.
kg.
Examples:
Input : X = 50, Y = 70, Z = 65 Output : Ratio = 1:3 Input : X = 1000, Y = 2000, Z = 1400 Output : Ratio = 3:2
According to Alligation rule, the ratio of the weights of two items mixed will be inversely proportional to the deviation of attributes of these two items from the average attribute of the resultant mixture.
w1 / w2 = (d - m) / (m - c)
Below program illustrate the above approach:
C++
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // Function to find the ratio of two mixtures void alligation( float x, float y, float m) { // Find the cheaper among x and y float c = (x <= y) ? x : y; // Find the dearer among x and y float d = (x >= y) ? x : y; // Find ratio r1:r2 int r1 = d - m; int r2 = m - c; // Convert the ration into simpler form int gcd = __gcd(r1, r2); cout << r1 / gcd << ":" << r2 / gcd; } // Driver code int main() { float x, y, z; x = 50; y = 70; z = 65; alligation(x, y, z); return 0; } |
