Q:

Milk and water are mixed in a vessel A as 4:1 and in vessel B as 3:2. For vessel C, if one takes equal quantities from A and B, find the ratio of milk to water in C.

A) 1:9 B) 9:1
C) 3:7 D) 7:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7:3

Explanation:

Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel A is 4 : 1

 

Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2

 

Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5

 

Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5

 

Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C

 

Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B

 

=> 4/5     :     3/5
               x 
  3/5-x          x - 4/5

 

=> 35-xx-45 = 11 (equal quantities)

 

=> x = 7/10

 

Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C  = 7

 

=> Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3

 

Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
