5:2 is the new ratio of acid and water.
Explanation:
Given that,
Total solution initially = 30 litres
The ratio of acid and water in it = 5:1
A.T.Q.
Amount of acid in the initial solution = 5/6 * 30
= 25 litres
Amount of water in the initial solution = 1/6 * 30
= 5 litres
After adding 5 litres of water to the initial solution,
Total solution now = 30 + 5 = 35 litres
Amount of acid in it = 25 = 25 litres
Amount of water now = 5 + 5 = 10 litres
So,
The new ratio = 25/10
= 5/2
= 5:2
Thus, 5:2 is the new ratio of acid and water.
