Q:

There are two mixtures of honey and water in which the ratio of honey and water are as 1:3 and 3:1 respectively. Two litres are drawn from first mixture and 3 litres from second mixture, are mixed to form another mixture. What is the ratio of honey and water in it ?

A) 111:108 B) 11:9
C) 103:72 D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 11:9

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

 

=> 34-xx-14=23

 

=> 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 .
