Solution

The correct option is B $\frac{5}{26}$
$\frac{5}{13}$ of the tin is in 1 kg of alloy.
Since quantity of tin is constant (because the other alloy does not contain tin), therefore there is $\frac{5}{13}$ of the tin in 2
kg of alloy if 1 kg of both alloys is taken.
Hence, there is $\frac{5}{26}$ of tin in 1 kg of alloy.
