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
