Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 2.25 L Given: Initial mixture = 3 : 5 Final mixture = 3 : 9 Calculation: Let’s, calculate this sum in terms of parts. ⇒ Initial mixture = 3 + 5 ⇒ Initial mixture = 8 parts ⇒ Final mixture = 3 + 9 ⇒ Final mixture = 12 parts 2 liters were replaced while forming final mixture ⇒ 12 – 8 = 2 L ⇒ 4 Parts = 2 L ⇒ 1 Part = 1/2 L ⇒ 8 Parts = 8 × (1/2) ⇒ Initial Quantity = 4 L + 2L (∵ 2 L was replaced) ⇒ Quantity of olives = (3/8) × 6 ∴ Quantity of olives = 2.25 L |
