Question

2 containers 2 litres and q litres are filled with milk and water in the ratio 2 : 3 in each of them a certain quantity of the solution is taken
from the first and twice that quantity is taken from the second container and are mixed in a third container. What is the milk to
water ratio in the third container?
a.2:3 b.3:2 c.1:2 d.2:1

Answer 1

Answer:

a is the answer of this question

Answer 2

The Concept is based on the mixing proportions of different substances and required quantities can be calculated by assuming suitable variables.

Given,

2 containers of capacities 2 L and q L are filled with milk and water in the ratio of 2 : 3.

Thus, the quantity of milk in 1st container= 2x litres

quantity of water in 2nd container = 3x litres

Let, y litres of milk be taken from 1st container and added to 3rd container.

According to the question, 2y litres of water is taken from the 2nd container and mixed into the 3rd container.

Therefore, the ratio of milk to water in 3rd container is given by:

                                                                         ⇒    $\frac{Y}{2Y}$

                                                                         ⇒ 1 : 2

Therefore , The correct option is  (c) 1:2.
