Q:
The concentration of glucose in three different mixtures (glucose and alcohol) is respectively. If 2 litres, 3 litres and 1 litre are taken from these three different vessels and mixed. What is the ratio of glucose and alcohol in the new mixture?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 3:2
Explanation: Concentration of glucose are in the ratio =
Quantity of glucose taken from A = 1 liter out of 2
Quantity of glucose taken from B = 3/5 x 3 = 1.5 lit
Quantity of glucose taken from C = 0.8 lit
So, total quantity of glucose taken from A,B and C = 3.6 lit
So, quantity of alcohol = (2 + 3 + 1) - 3.6 = 2.4 lit
Ratio of glucose to alcohol = 3.6/2.4 = 3:2
