Q:
Equal quantities of three mixtures of milk and water are mixed in the ratio 1:2, 2:3 and 3:4. The ratio of water and milk in the mixture is ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 193 : 122
Explanation: Given the three mixtures ratio as (1:2),(2:3),(3:4)
(1+2),(2+3),(3+4)
Total content = 3,5,7
Given equal quantities of the three mixtures are mixed, then LCM of 3, 5, 7 = 105
105/3 = 35 , 105/5 = 21 , 105/7 = 15
Now, the individual equal quantity ratios are (35x1, 35x2), (21x2, 21x3), (15x3, 15x4)
i.e (35,70), (42,63), (45,60)
So overall mixture ratio of milk and water is
35+42+45 : 70+63+60
122:193
But in the question asked the ratio of water to milk = 193 : 122
