Question

Two vessels contain water and spirit in the ratio 3:4 and 5:2 respectively .there are mixed in the ration 4:5 .what is the ratio of new mixture?

Answer 1

Answer: The ratio of new mixture would be 37:26

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of water and spirit in first vessel= 3:4

The ratio of water and spirit in second vessel= 5:2

Since the two vessels are mixed in the ration 4:5, we get:

The ratio of water and spirit in the resulting mixture= (3x4+5x5):(4x4+2x5)

=> 37:26
