Q:
A) 111:108 | B) 11:9 |
C) 103:72 | D) None |
Answer: B) 11:9
Explanation:
Explanation:
From the given data,
The part of honey in the first mixture = 1/4
The part of honey in the second mixture = 3/4
Let the part of honey in the third mixture = x
Then,
1/4 3/4
x
(3/4)-x x-(1/4)
Given from mixtures 1 & 2 the ratio of mixture taken out is 2 : 3
=>
=> Solving we get the part of honey in the third mixture as 11/20
=> the remaining part of the mixture is water = 9/20
Hence, the ratio of the mixture of honey and water in the third mixture is 11 : 9 .
