Question 53

An alloy P has copper and zinc in the proportion of 5: 2 (by weight), while another alloy Q has the same metals in the proportion of 3: 4 (by weight). If these two alloys are mixed in the proportion of a : b (by weight), a new alloy R is formed, which has equal contents of copper and zinc. Then, the proportion of copper and zinc in the alloy S, formed by mixing the two alloys P and Q in the proportion of b : a (by weight) is
