Answer 1

13 liter paint blue and red is mixed..

Answer 2

There is 4 liters of blue and 10 liters of yellow paint in the mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of blue and yellow paints = 2:5

Amount of blue paint = 2x

Amount of yellow paint = 5x

6 litres more of yellow than blue is taken.

According to question, we get that

$5x-2x=6\\\\3x=6\\\\x=\dfrac{6}{3}\\\\x=2$

Amount of blue paint = $2\times 2=4\ liters$

Amount of yellow paint = $5\times 2=10\ liters$

Hence, there is 4 liters of blue and 10 liters of yellow paint in the mixture.
