A jar contains a blend of juice and water in the ratio of 5 ∶ x. When 1 liter of water is added to 4 liters of the blend the ratio of juice to water becomes 1 ∶ 1. What is the value of x?1). 32). 13). 24). 4

Answer»

Initial ratio = 5 ? x

After ADDING 1 liter of water to the 4 LITERS of blend, the final QUANTITY of the blend BECOMES 5 Liters

Final Ratio = 1 ? 1

⇒ Value of 2 = 5 Liters

⇒ Quantity of juice = Quantity of water in the blend = 2.5 Liters

Since the Quantity of juice is same,

⇒ Quantity of juice in initial mixture = 2.5 Liters

⇒ Quantity of water in initial mixture = 1.5 Liter

⇒ Initial total quantity = 4 Liters

4 Liters in mixed in the ratio = 2.5 ? 1.5 = 5 ? 3

∴ Value of x = 3
