Two bottles A and B contain mixture of milk and water in the ratio of 5 ∶ 3 and 1 ∶ 5 respectively. Find the ratio in which these two mixtures be mixed to obtain a new mixture containing milk and water in the ratio 3 ∶ 4.1). 5 ∶ 62). 3 ∶ 83). 4 ∶ 34). 2 ∶ 3 |

Answer» Let Amount of mixture CONTAINED by both bottles A and B be 1 litre Bottle A contains milk and water mixture in the ratio 5 ? 3 ⇒ Amount of milk in the bottle A = 5/8 litre ⇒ Amount of water in the bottle A = 3/8 litre Bottle B contains milk and water mixture in the ratio 1 ? 5 ⇒ Amount of milk in the bottle B = 1/6 litre ⇒ Amount of water in the bottle B = 5/6 litre Let ‘x’ and ‘y’ LITRES from bottle A and B respectively are mixed ⇒ Amount of milk in the NEW mixture in litre = 5/8x + 1/6y ⇒ Amount of milk in the new mixture in litre = 3/8x + 5/6y ? New mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 3 ? 4 ⇒ (5/8x + 1/6y) / (3/8x + 5/6y) = 3/4 ⇒ (15x + 4y) / (9x + 20y) = 3/4 ⇒ 60x + 16y = 27x + 60y ⇒ 33x = 44y ⇒ x/y = 4/3 |
