Question

Contains three parts of honey and water of sugar syrup how much of the mixture must be drawn off and sugar syrup substitute in order that the resulting mixture may be half and half

Answer 1

Answer:

Water : Syrup = 3:5

Let's assume the volume of the vessel is 80 Litres.

Water = 30 Litres

Syrup = 50 Litres

Since all the liquid taken out of the vessel is replaced by water, the total volume remains constant.

Therefore, we need to ensure there's 40 litres of water and Syrup individually.

Therefore, we need to take out 10 litres of syrup and replace it with water.

For every 8 litres taken out of the vessel, we replace 5 litres of syrup with water.

Therefore, we need to replace 16 litres, or 20% of the solution with water.

Hope this helps.
