Q12 of 15 Page 118

Let’s see the table below, write in mathematical language and try to find out the answer.

For easy way let assume given mixture is of milk and water


1. ratio of milk and water in first type of mixture = 5:4


ratio of milk and water in second type of mixture = 3:2


milk in first type of mixture


Water in first type mixture


Milk in second type of mixture


Water in second type of mixture


Given that equal quantities are taken from two mixture. Let x unit is taken from both mixtures.


So, milk in new type of mixture =






And, water in new mixture =





Hence,


Ratio of milk to water in new mixture




Milk: water = 26:19


2. For easy way let assume given mixture is of milk and water


ratio of milk and water in first type of mixture = 4:5


ratio of milk and water in second type of mixture = 5:1


ratio of milk and water in new mixture = 5:4


Suppose kg of first type and y kg of second type taken and mixed


Quantity of milk in in new mixture



Total quantity of new mixture = ( )


Hence,




8 + 15y = 10 + 10y


2 = 5y


x: y = 5:2


3. ratio of milk and water in first type of mixture = 3:4


ratio of milk and water in second type of mixture = 9:5


For easy way let assume given mixture is of milk and water


milk in first type of mixture


Water in first type mixture


Milk in second type of mixture


Water in second type of mixture


Given that, the ratio of the quantities of two mixtures in the new mixture is 1:2


So, milk in new type of mixture


And, water in new mixture


Hence,


Ratio of milk to water in new mixture


Milk: water = 4:3


4. For easy way let assume given mixture is of milk and water


ratio of milk and water in first type of mixture = 2:3


ratio of milk and water in second type of mixture = 5:4


ratio of milk and water in new mixture = 1:1


Suppose x kg of first type and y kg of second type taken and mixed


Quantity of milk in in new mixture





Total quantity of new mixture = ( )


Hence,





9= 5y


: y = 5:9


5. For easy way let assume given mixture is of milk and water


ratio of milk and water in first type of mixture = 4:3


ratio of milk and water in second type of mixture = 5:2


ratio of milk and water in new mixture = 9:5


Suppose kg of first type and y kg of second type taken and mixed


Quantity of milk in in new mixture





Total quantity of new mixture = ( )


Hence,




8+ 10y = 9 + 9y


= y


: y = 1: 1
