Answer:
30L
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve it in two ways
1st method (logics)
when we take 3L apple juice we add 1L Pineapple juice
so, total 4 litres
4L --------> 3L Apple and 1L Pineapple
so, for 40L-------> 30L apple juice and 10L Pineapple
so for 40L we need 30L of apple juice
2nd method (original solution)
Apple : Pineapple = 3 : 1
so total volume of juice will be 4L
so in 4L, 3/4 will be apple juice and 1/4 is Pineapple (Think about it......)
so it 40L,
Apple juice = (3/4) × 40 = 3 × 10 = 30L
So Apple juice required is 30L
Hope you understood it........All the best
