Method 1 to solve the equation.
Let us assume the number of liters of the 90% purity solution = A
and the number of liters of the 97% purity solution = B.
According to question,
Since there are 21 liters of the solution,
A + B = 21 ...................... (1)
Since after mixing the two solutions the new mixture has 94% purity,
Concentrate of A + Concentrate of B = Concentrate of (A + B)
A x 90% + B x 94% = (A+ B) x 97%
? A x 90/100 + B x 97/100 = (A + B) x 94/100
? 90A + 97B = (A + B) x 94
? 90A + 97B = 94A + 94B
? 94A + 94B - 90A- 97B = 0
? 4A - 3B = 0 ........................(2)
Multiply the 3 with Equation (1) and add with Equation (2),
3A + 3B + 4A - 3B = 63 + 0
? 7A = 63
? A = 63/7 = 9
Put the value of A in Equation (1) , we will get
9 + B = 21
B = 21 - 9
B = 12
The first solution would be A = 9 liters.
Method 2 to solve the equation.
Hit and trail method.
94% is closer to 97% but barely meaning the mixtures will not be equal parts but will be slightly more of the higher purity. Quickly eliminate A and B. Out of the others 9 is the easy choice. If the other choices were closer to half this wouldn't work.
We have the important relation, More work, More time (days)
? A piece of work can be done in 6 days.
? Three times of work of same type can be done in 6 x 3
= 18 days
? = 750.0003 ÷ 19.999
? ? ? 750 ÷ 20
? ? ? 375 ? 38
Subtract 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 from successive numbers. So 0 is wrong.
NA
Each previous number is multiplied by 2.
? 8 m shadow means original height = 12 m
? 1 m shadow means original height = 12/8 m
? 100 m shadow means original height = (12/8) x 100 m
= (6/4) x 100 = 6 x 25 = 150 m
Let 8% of 96 = y of 1/25
? (8 x 96)/100 = y/25
? y = (8 x 96 x 25)/100 = 192
Since the principal is not given, so data is inadequate.
