Q13 of 15 Page 118

There are three kinds of liquid in a beverage of 700 liters. The ratio of measurements of the first and the second liquids is 2:3 and the ratio of measurement of the second and the third liquid is 4:5. Let’s work out the ratio in which the first and second liquid will be mixed so that the ratio of measurement of the three liquids become 6:5:3 in the new beverage.

Given,


Ratio of first, second and third liquid.


First liquid : second liquid : third liquid


2 : 3


4 : 5


Quantity of second quantity will be same, so to make it equal, multiply by 4 in upper no.’s and by 3 in lower no’s


First liquid : second liquid : third liquid


2×4 : 3×4


4×3 : 5×3


8 : 12 : 15


So, Ratio of first, second and third liquid in beverages = 8:12:15


Beverage is of 700 liters


New ratio of liquids in mixture = 6:5:3


So, quantity of first type of liquid in new mixture





quantity of second type of liquid in new mixture





Ratio of first and second type liquid




=6:5
