Question

two vessels contain equal quantity of milk Two vessels contain equal quantity of milk and water in the ratio 2 ratio 3 :: 4 ratio 1 the mixture of both the vessels are mixed thoroughly, what is the ratio of milk and water in resultant mixture? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer=Vessel A : Vessel B:: 7:5

Ratios are 4:3 (4+3=7) and 2:3 (2+3=5). So LCM of 7, 5 is 35.

Now, for 35 liter mix.

Let M=milk,W=water

Vessel A,

M:W= 4:3 (4+3=7) means in 35 liter mix. Milk is 4*35/7=20 liter and water is 3×35/7=15 liter.

Vessel B,

M:W=2:3(2+3=5) means in 35 liter mix. Milk is 2×35/5=14 liter and water is 3×35/5=21 liter.

For Vessel C,

M:W=1:1(required)

Let ratio of Vessel A=x and Vessel B=y.

In Vessel C , both milk and water will be in equal quantity. So,

Net quantity of milk= Net quantity of water

20x+14y=15x+21y

5x=7y

x/y=7/5

So, x:y=7 :5
