Question

There are two containers X and Y containing 40 litres each of liquid A and liquid B respectively.
10 litres of liquid A from X is taken and poured into Y. then 5 litres of the mixture from Y is taken
and poured in X. What is the ratio of liquid Bin X and y​

Answer 1

Answer:

7/9

Explanation:

As ,

If X =40-10+5. (since we consider X =A liquid) (Also, 10 litres is removed and 5 litres is added )

x=35.

And ,

If Y=40 +10-5.(since we consider Y =B liquid)

(Also, here 10 litres is added and 5 litres is removed)

y=45.

Now,

Given, the ratio of liquid bin x and of liquid bin y.

So,

X/Y=35/45

X/Y=7/9.

There fore , the ratio of liquid bin x and y =7/9.

Wish you understand the answer.
