Two metals A and B are to be used for making two different alloys. There are only 506 kg of A and 322 kg of B. If the ratio by weight of A to B in the first alloy is 5 : 3 and that in the second is 4 : 7, find what weight of each alloy must be produced so that no metal will be left over.

| A | B |
I | 5x | 3x |
II | 4y | 7y |
5x + 4y = 253 …. (1)
3x + 7y = 161 …. (2)
On solving equations (1) & (2), we get
x = 49 and y = 2.
Hence, type I Alloy = 392 kg, and Type II Alloy = 22 kg
