Answer» As per GIVEN data- Initial fruit SYRUP to water ratio is 3 ? 5. Let X is multiplication CONSTANT in ratio. ∴ Barrel contains 3X quantity of fruit syrup & 5X quantity of water. When 4 liters of water is added in barrel NEW ratio of syrup to water becomes 1 ? 2 3X/(5X + 4) = 1/2 ∴ 3X × 2 = 5X + 4 ∴ 6X = 5X + 4 ∴ X = 4 liters ∴ Quantity of fruit syrup = 3X = 3 × 4 = 12 liters ∴ Answer is 12 liters. |
