Mixture of mixtures

Important

In a mixture of mixtures, two quantities of some mixtures are mixed to get a mixture of mixtures.

Let Mixture 1 have ingredients A and B in ratio a: b, and Mixture 2 have ingredients A and B in ratio x : y.

Now, the M unit of mixture 1 and N unit of mixture 2 are mixed to form a resultant mixture. Then, in the resultant mixture, the ratio of A and B is

$$\dfrac{Q_a}{Q_b}=\ \dfrac{M\left(\frac{a}{a+b}\right)+N\left(\frac{x}{x+y}\right)\ }{M\left(\frac{b}{a+b}\right)+N\left(\frac{y}{x+y}\right)}$$

Question 1

A mixture contains lemon juice and sugar syrup in equal proportion. If a new mixture is created by adding this mixture and sugar syrup in the ratio 1 : 3, then the ratio of lemon juice and sugar syrup in the new mixture is

Question 2

There are two containers of the same volume, first container half-filled with sugar syrup and the second container half-filled with milk. Half the content of the first container is transferred to the second container, and then the half of this mixture is transferred back to the first container. Next, half the content of the first container is transferred back to the second container. Then the ratio of sugar syrup and milk in the second container is

Question 3

A glass contains 500 cc of milk and a cup contains 500 cc of water. From the glass, 150 cc of milk is transferred to the cup and mixed thoroughly. Next, 150 cc of this mixture is transferred from the cup to the glass. Now, the amount of water in the glass and the amount of milk in the cup are in the ratio
