The ratio of spirit and water is 2 : 5. If the volume of solution is increased by 50% by adding spirit only. What is the resultant ratio of spirit and water?
Let the spirit and water content be 2x and 5x
Total quantity =7x
Half of 7x=3.5x
So 3.5x of spirit is added to it.
Total spirit=2x+3.5x
Total water=5x
Ratio=10:11
