What will be the ratio of petrol and kerosene in the final solution formed by mixing petrol and kerosene that are present in three identical vessels in the ratio 4:1,5:2 and 6 :1 respectively?
Answers
Answer:
Three identical vessels in the ratio 4:1,5:2 and 6 :1 respectively.
Petrol : kerosene
(4 : 1 = 5)7
(5 : 2 = 7)5
(6 : 1 = 7)5
28 : 7 = 35
25 : 10 = 35
30 : 5 = 35
83 : 22
Answer:83:22
Explanation: Let us consider the capacity of vessel is 350litres.All the three vessels are identical given. Capacity vessel1=capacity vessel2=capacity vessel3=350 litres.
1)In vessel1 ratio of petrol to Kerosene is 4:1
Since the total capacity is 350litres
Amount of petrol= 4/5*350=280litres.
Amount of Kerosene= 1/5*350=70 litres.
2) similarly in vessel1
Amount of petrol= 5/7*350=250litres.
Amount of kerosene=2/7*350=100litres.
3) Similarly in vessel3
Amount of pertrol=6/7*350=300litres.
Amount of Kerosene=1/7*350=50litres.
Finally when mixed the contents in all three vessels
The final ratio is
Petro1 in vessel1+petrol in vessel1+ petrol in vessel3= 830litres.
Kerosene in vessel1+kerosene in vessel2+ kerosene in vessel 3=220litres.
Ratio of petrol to kerosene=830:220 which is 83:22.
