Q:
Milk and water are mixed in a vessel A as 4:1 and in vessel B as 3:2. For vessel C, if one takes equal quantities from A and B, find the ratio of milk to water in C.
Answer & Explanation
Answer: D) 7:3
Explanation: Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel A is 4 : 1
Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2
Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5
Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5
Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C
Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B
=> 4/5 : 3/5
x
3/5-x x - 4/5
=> = (equal quantities)
=> x = 7/10
Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C = 7
=> Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3
Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
