A jar full of whisky contains 40% alcohol. A part of this whisky is replaced by another containing 19% alcohol and now the percentage of alcohol was found to be 26%. What quantity of whisky is replaced ?
0% alcohol solution is mixed with 19% alcohol solution to give 26% alcohol solution.
w1/w2 = (A2 - Aavg)/(Aavg - A1)
= (40 - 26)/(26 - 19)
= 14/7 = 2/1
So 2 parts of 19% solution were mixed with 1 part of 40% solution. This means that 2/3rd of the 40% solution was replaced by 19% solution.
