Answer» Concentration of Alcohol in the FIRST BOTTLE = 40% Concentration of Alcohol in the SECOND bottle = 19% We know that, $(\frac{{{\rm{Cost\;price\;of\;unit\;quantity\;of\;cheaper\;substance}}\left( {\rm{c}} \right)}}{{{\rm{Cost\;price\;of\;unit\;quantity\;of\;dearer\;substance}}\left( {\rm{d}} \right)}} = \frac{{{\rm{Mean\;price\;}} - {\rm{\;c\;}}}}{{{\rm{d\;}} - {\rm{Mean\;price}}}})$ For first bottle, 26 - 19 = 7 For second bottle, 40 - 26 = 14 Hence the RATIO is 1 ? 2. The part of BRANDY replaced = $(\frac{2}{3})$ ∴ The part of Brandy replaced is 2/3 |
