  • Question
  • The milk and water in two vessels A and B are in the ratio 4:3 and 2:3 respectively. In what ratio the liquids in both the vessels be mixed to obtain a new mixture in vessel c consisting half milk and half water?


  • Options
  • A. 8:3
  • B. 6:7
  • C. 7:5
  • D. 11:7

  • Correct Answer
  • 7:5 

    Explanation

    Milk in 1-litre mixture of A = 4/7 litre. 

    Milk in 1-litre mixture of B = 2/5 litre. 

    Milk in 1-litre mixture of C = 1/2 litre.

     

    By rule of alligation we have required ratio X:Y   

       X                  :                 Y  

      4/7                                2/5  

               \                      /

                  (Mean ratio)
                       (1/2) 

               /                      \

     (1/2 ? 2/5)     :       (4/7 ? 1/2)  

        1/10                      1/1 4 

     

    So Required ratio = X : Y = 1/10 : 1/14 = 7:5
