The ratio of water and alcohol in two different containers is 2:3 and 4:5. In what ratio we are required to mix the mixtures of two containers in order to get the new mixture in which the ratio of alcohol and water be 7:5?

Correct Answer: 2:3

Correct Answer: 13 and 27

Correct Answer: 83.33 ml

Explanation:

Profit (%) = 9.09 % = 1/11

 

Since the ratio of water and milk is  1 : 11,

 

Therefore the ratio of water is to mixture = 1:12

 

Thus the quantity of water in mixture of 1 liter = 1000 x (1/12) = 83.33 ml

Correct Answer: 29.16 litres

Explanation:

Amount of milk left after 3 operations

 

40 1 - 4 40 3 = 40 * 9 10 * 9 10 * 9 10 = 29 . 16 litres

Correct Answer: 30

Explanation:

pool : kerosene 

   3  :  2(initially) 

   2  :  3(after replacement)

 

  R e m a i n i n g Q u a n t i t y I n i t i a l Q u a n t i t y = 1 - R e p l a c e d Q u a n t i t y T o t a l Q u a n t i t y

 

(for petrol)    2 3 = 1 - 10 k

 => K = 30

 Therefore the total quantity of the mixture in the container is 30 liters.

Correct Answer: 5 litres

Correct Answer: 15

Explanation:

Let quantity of mixture be x liters.

 

Suppose a container contains x units of liquid from which y units are taken out and replaced by Water. After operations , the quantity of pure liquid =  x 1 - y x n units, Where n = no of operations . 

 

So, Quantity of Milk =  x 1 - 6 x 2  

 

Given that, Milk : Water = 9 : 16 

 

=> Milk : (Milk + Water) = 9 : (9+16)

 

=> Milk : Mixture = 9 : 25 

 

 Therefore,  x 1 - 6 x 2 x = 9 25

 

=> x = 15 liters

Correct Answer: 22 lit

Explanation:

Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.
Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)
After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.
6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)
10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44.

The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.

Correct Answer: 91 liters

Explanation:

         Milk             Water 

         74%             26%        (initially) 

         76%             24%        ( after replacement) 

 

  Left amount = Initial amount  1 - r e p l a c e d a m o u n t t o t a l a m o u n t 

   24  = 26 1 - 7 k

=> k = 91 

Correct Answer: 80 lit

Explanation:

From the given data,

let the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x

Then,

$$\begin{gathered} 2 x - 16 3 x - 24 + 40 = 1 4 \\ 8 x - 64 = 3 x + 16 \\ 5 x = 80 \\ x = 16 lit \end{gathered}$$

 

Then the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x = 5 x 16 = 80 lit.
