  • Question
  • One type of liquid contains 25 % of benzene, the other contains 30% of benzene. A can is filled with 6 parts of the first liquid and 4 parts of the second liquid. Find the percentage of benzene in the new mixture.


  • Options
  • A. 27 %
  • B. 26 %
  • C. 29 %
  • D. 21 %

  • Correct Answer
  • 27 % 

    Explanation

    Let the percentage of benzene = X
    (30 - X)/(X- 25) = 6/4 = 3/2
    => 5X = 135  
    X = 27

    So, required percentage of benzene = 27 %
