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
ExplanationMilk 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
