The ratio of the volumes of three bottles is 5:3:2. These three bottles are filled with the solution of phenyl and water. The ratios of measurement of phenyl and water in three bottles each are 2:3, 1:2 and 1:3 respectively.
part of the first bottle,
part of the second bottle and
part of the third bottle are mixed together now. Let’s work out ratio of phenyl and water in the new solution.
Let the volumes of three bottles are 60, 36, 24 litres.
Then phenyl in first bottle
litres
& water in first bottle
liters
Phenyl in second bottle
litres
Water in second bottle
litres
Phenyl in third bottle
litres
Water in third bottle
litres
Quantity of phenyl in new mixture ![]()
![]()
Quantity of water in new mixture ![]()
![]()
So, the ratio of phenyl & water in new mixture = 18: 36
= 1: 2
