Question

There are two vessel containing mixture of milk and water.in the first vesel the water is 2/3 of the milkand in second vessel water is just 40% of the milk.in what ratio these are required to mix to make 24litres mixture in which the ratio of water is to milk is 1:2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let 1st vessel contains x liters of mixture of milk and water.

Milk in 1st vessel =134x

Water in 1st vessel=139x

Let 2nd vessel contains Y liters of mixture of milk and water

Milk in 2nd vessel =92y

Water in 2nd vessel =97y

Let the two mixture combine such that the milk to water ratio is 2:5

139x+97y134x+92y=52

81x+91y36x+26y=52

180x+130y=162x+182y

18x=52y

yx=926

Hence mixture from vessel 1 and vessel 2should be mixed in the ratio 26/9 for milk and water to be in ratio 2:5
