In a mixture of 225 liters, the ratio of acid to water is 4 ∶ 1. Another 35 liters of water is added to the mixture. The ratio of acid to water in the new mixture is:1). 5 : 92). 9 : 53). 3 : 94). 4 : 9 |

Answer» TOTAL mixture = 225 liters Acid in mixture = $(225\times \frac{4}{5} = 180\;liters)$ Water in mixture = $(225\times \frac{1}{5} = 45\;liters)$ Water added = 35 liters NEW ratio = $(\frac{{180}}{{45 + 35\;}} = \;\frac{{180}}{{80}} = \;\frac{9}{4})$ ∴ The ratio of acid to water in the new mixture is 9 ? 4 |
