1.

In one vessel there is the mixture of milk and water in the ratio 5 : 2 and in another the ratio of milk and water is 4 : 3. The quantity of mixture in the other vessel is double the quantity of the mixture in the first vessel. If both the mixtures are poured in a single vessel, what will be the ratio of milk and water in the new mixture?1). 2 : 12). 11 : 53). 3 : 24). 13 : 8

Answer»

⇒ Ratio in first VESSEL = 5 : 2 (sum of quantity = 5 + 2 = 7)

⇒ Ratio in second vessel = 4 : 3 (sum of quantity = 4 + 3 = 7)

But the quantity of the second vessel is double THEREFORE we will multiply it by 2.

⇒ New ratio in second vessel = 8 : 6

Now, if these are mixed the ratio will be = (5 + 8) : (2 + 6)

∴ 13 : 8
