Question 117
Two equal vessels are filled with the mixture of water and milk in the ratio of 3:4 and 5:3 respectively. If the mixtures are poured into a third vessel, the ratio of water and milk in the third vessel will be
Solution
Let's say amounts in first vessel are 3x and 4xÂ
in second vessel = 5y and 3y
So 7x = 8y (given) Â (eq. (1))
Pouring them together , new amounts will be 3x+5y and 4x+3y
so new ratio will be $$\frac{3x+5y}{4x+3y}$$ Â (eq. 2)
putting ratio of x and y from eq. (1) in eq. (2) and solving we will get new ratio as 59:53
