Question

7. In mixture A of honey and water, honey is 40 liters more than water and quantity of
honey and water in mixture B of honey and water is same. Mixtures A and B are
mixed in the ratio 5 : 3 to form mixture C in which honey becomes three times of
quantity of water, then what is the difference between honey and water in mixture C?
शहद और पानी के मिश्रण A में, शहद पानी से 40 लीटर अधिक है और शहद और पानी के मिश्रण B में
शहद और पानी की मात्रा समान है। मिश्रण A और B को 5 : 3 में मिलाकर मिश्रण C बनाया जाता है,
जिसमें शहद पानी का तीन गुना हो जाता है, तब मिश्रण C में शहद और पानी के बीच अंतर क्या है?
(a) 200 liters
(b) 150 liters
(c
(c) 140 liters
(d) 100liters​

Answer 1

Answer:

From the given data,

The part of honey in the first mixture = 1/4

The part of honey in the second mixture = 3/4

Let the part of honey in the third mixture = x

Then,

1/4 3/4

x

(3/4)-x x-(1/4)

Given from mixtures 1 & 2 the ratio of mixture taken out is 2 : 3

=> 34−xx−14=23

=> Solving we get the part of honey in the third mixture as 11/20

=> the remaining part of the mixture is water = 9/20

Hence, the ratio of the mixture of honey and water in the third mixture is 11: 9
