Question

the ratio of the quantities of an acid and water in mixture is 1:3.in 5 litres of acid future added to the mixture the new ratio becomes 1:2. The quality of new mixture?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the quantity of acid then quantity of water will be 3X.

After adding 5 liters more acid the quantity of acid will be X+5

New ratio is given as 1:2

so (X+5)/3X = 1/2

2X+10=3X

X=10

Quantity of new mixture = 10 +5+(10*3)

=15+30=45 Answer.
