Question

From a container with 8 liters of apple juice and 6 liters of orange juice, 7 liters of mixture are removed. what is the amount of apple juice present in the container?

Answer 1

I think that 7 litre of apple juice is present in the container

Answer 2

Answer:

4 is the correct answer.

Given:

a container with 8 litres of apple juice and 6 litres of orange juice.

To find:

the amount of apple juice present in the container after 7 L of the mixture is removed.

Solution:

total mixture = apple juice + orange juice = 14 litres.

out of this,

the ratio of apple juice to orange juice = 8/6 = 4:3

it is a general assumption that the amount of mixture drawn is in the same ratio as it was present initially. so,

amount of mixture drawn = 7 L

amount of mixture left = 14 - 7 = 7 L

now, this remaining 7 L will be in the ratio as it was in the beginning.

so,

amount of apple juice = ratio of apple juice / (ratio of apple juice + ratio of orange juice) x remaining juice

so, the amount of apple juice present= 4/ 7 x 7 = 4 units.

Hence, 4 is the correct answer.
