Alligation Questions: SSC CGL math alligation and mixture

I am posting 10 varieties of questions on ‘Alligation Questions’. This is

considered a difficult chapter. Generally, 1-2 questions can be asked in Tier 1 and

4-5 in Tier 2. This chapter will have direct link with other chapters also for the

purpose of alligation technique. In fact alligation is a technique used in simple

interest, average, percentage, ratio and proportion chapters.
