Question 188

Three utensils contain equal quantity of mixtures of milk and water in the ratio 6:1, 5: 2 and 3: 1 respectively. If all the solutions are mixed together, the ratio of milk and water in the final mixture Is

Solution

Let each vessel contain 28 litres of mixture

=> Total quantity of mixture in 3 containers = 3*28 = 84 litres

=> Total quantity of milk = $$(\frac{6}{7} + \frac{5}{7} + \frac{3}{4})$$ * 28

= $$\frac{24 + 20 + 21}{28}$$ * 28 = 65 litres

Now, total quantity of water = 84-65 = 19 litres

=> Required ratio = 65 : 19
