Q: In a triangle XYZ , which of the following conditions is true

Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1 Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre Quantity of water = 20 litre To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk So, water should be 80 litre. That means 80 – 20 = 60 litre water to be added.

XY YZ > ZX
XY + YZ < ZX
XY YZ < XZ
XY + ZX < YZ

Correct Answer: XY YZ < XZ

Explanation:

Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 – 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
