Question

In which ratio should a person mix three different syrups costing 75 Rs/litre, 100 Rs/litre and 80
Rs/litre to form a mocktail (mixture) costing 90 Rs/litre?​

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

quantity of first syrup for Rs 90 = 90/75

quantity of second syrup for Rs 90 = 90/100

quantity of third syrup for Rs 90 = 90/80

=> ratio of syrups = 90/75 : 90/100 : 90/80

= 1440/1200 : 1080/1200 : 1350/1200

= 144 : 108 : 135

= 16 : 12 : 15

Therefore ratio of three different syrups in the mixture = 16 : 12 : 15

hope this helps you
