Question

Two jars a and b contain a mixture of two liquid X and y in ratio of 2:3 and 4:5 respectively.if mixture from jar a and b are mixed in ratio 1:2 then find the ratio of X and y in final mixture.

Answer 1

9:8 should be the answer

Answer 2

Answer: The ratio of X and Y in final mixture is 5:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of mixture in Jar A is 2:3

Ratio of mixture in Jar B is 4:5

If mixture from Jar A and B are mixed in ratio 1:2.

So, we will apply mixture and allegation:

 Jar A             Jar B

$\dfrac{2}{5}$                        $\dfrac{4}{9}$

          $\dfrac{1}{3}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$\dfrac{4}{9}-\dfrac{1}{3}$  :  $\dfrac{2}{5}-\dfrac{1}{3}$

$\dfrac{4-3}{9}=\dfrac{1}{9}$ :  $\dfrac{6-5}{15}=\dfrac{1}{15}$

15     :      9

 5     :      3

So, the ratio of X and Y in final mixture is 5:3.
