Bijan babu has made phenyl water solution of 60 litres in which the ratio of measurements of phenyl and water is 2:23. Let’s work out how much phenyl should be added to this solution so that the ratio of measurements of phenyl and water becomes 9:46.
Quantity of phenyl
litres = 4.8 liters
Quantity of water in mixture = (60 ─ 4.8) liters = 55.2 litres
New ratio = 9: 46
Let quantity of phenyl to be added further be “x” liters.
Then,
![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 220.8 + 46x = 496.8
⇒ 46x = 496.8 ─ 220.8
⇒ 46x = 276
⇒ x = 6
Quantity of phenyl to be added = 6 litres.
