Tax Rate Applications On Mix Items

I buy a metal scrap which contains a mixture of two or more metals coming under the slab of 3% and 18% both respectively.
it contains about 80% of metal with 18% tax rate and about 20% of metal with 3% tax rate.
Which tax rate should i apply in buying that stock which is mixed in indefinite proportion i.e., not fixed.
The seller applies 3% tax rate on the whole of metal scrap which is questionable to gst officers.
Kindly clarify if there is any act or rule suggesting the application of tax in mix lot of items with different tax rates.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the correct GST application for mixed metal scrap containing components with different tax rates (3% and 18%). The user is questioning a seller's practice of applying the lower 3% rate to the entire mixed lot, especially when the proportions are not fixed. The consensus points towards the higher tax rate being applicable in cases of mixed supplies, though specific GST act sections or rules for this exact scenario are sought for clarification.

Whenever there is mixed supply, higher tax rate of any of the goods is applicable..

Sir, which act section or rule says that. Kindly give reference.
