Question

Two equal vessels are filled with the mixtures of water<br />and milk in the ratio of 3 : 4 and 5: 3 respectively. If the<br />mixtures are poured into a third vessel, the ratio of water<br />and milk in the third vessel will be<br />(A) 15:12 (B) 53:59 (C) 20:9 (D) 59:53​

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

let the vessels be of volume x

volume of water in vessel 1 = 3/(3+4)×x = 3x/7

volume of water in vessel 2 = 5/(5+3) ×x= 5x/8

water in vessel 3 = 3x/7 + 5x/8 /2x

= 24x+35x/56 ×2x= 59/112

milk = 1-59/112 = 53/112

water: milk = 59/112 : 53/112 = 59:53
