Here S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

Let E be the event of getting the multiple of 3

Then, E = {3,6}

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 2/6 = 1/3 

= 4 : 2 = 2 : 1

Thus, the two varieties should be mixed in the ratio 2 : 1

Number of ways of choosing 2 black pens from 5 black pens in 5C2 ways.

Number of ways of choosing 2 white pens from 3 white pens in 3C2 ways.

Number of ways of choosing 2 red pens from 4 red pens in 4C2ways.

By the Counting Principle, 2 black pens, 2 white pens, and 2 red pens can be chosen in 10 x 3 x 6 =180 ways.

The number of exhaustive outcomes is 36.
Let E be the event of getting an even number on one die and an odd number on the other. Let the event of getting either both even or both odd then = 18/36 = 1/2
P(E) = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2.

Let a and b are the numbers.Then a+b is 12 and ab is 35.

a+b/ab = 12/35

1/b + 1/a = 12/35

Let us assume that the lotion has 50% alcohol and 50% water.
ratio = 1:1
As the total solution is 9ml
alcohol = water = 4.5ml
Now if we want the quantity of alcohol = 30%
The quantity of water = 70%
The new ratio = 3:7
Let x ml of water be added
We get,
4.54.5+x = 37
=> x=6
Hence 6ml of water is added.

Number of liters of water in 150 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 20/100 x 150 = 30 liters.
P liters of water added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture.
Total amount of water becomes (30 + P) and total volume of mixture is (150 + P).
(30 + P) = 25/100 x (150 + P)
120 + 4P = 150 + P => P = 10 liters.

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
