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
