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
