Question

A bottle with 2 litres of capacity is half filled with syrup in

which sugar and water are mixed in the ratio 2:3. If the

emptied part of the bottle is filled up by water, then what is

the new ratio of sugar and water in the bottle now?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{27}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From CAT 2017 – Quantitative Aptitude – Arithmetic – Mixtures, we can see that, Volume of Bottle 1 = A

Volume of bottle 2 = B

Ratio in which mixtures of Bottle 1 and Bottle 2 will be mixed

(7A/9 + 9B/13)/ (2A/9+4B/13) = 3/1

On solving we get, A/B = 27/13
