In vessel A, the ratio of milk and water is 3 : 4 and in vessel B, the ratio of milk and water is 2 : 3. If vessel A and B are mixed in the ratio of 1 : 2 respectively, then what will be the ratio of Milk and water?1. 29 : 412. 43 : 623. 12 : 174. 4 : 5

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 43 : 62

Given:

Vessel A ratio of Milk and water is 3 : 4

Vessel B ratio of Milk and water is 2 : 3

vessel A and B are mixed in the ratio of 1 : 2 respectively.

Calculation:

Let the ratio of milk and water in vessel A be 3x : 4x

So, the total quantity of vessel A is 7x

And the ratio of milk and water in vessel B be 2x : 3x

So, the total quantity of vessel B is 5x

To Mix into the ratio first we need to make quantity equal

So, multiply vessel A by 5 and multiply vessel B by 7

⇒ Vessel A = 15x : 20x

⇒ Vessel B = 14x : 21x

Now mix them in the ratio of 1 and 2

The final ratio of milk and water will be

⇒ milk : water = 15x + 28x : 20x + 42x

⇒ milk : water = 43 : 62

∴ The ratio of milk and water in the final mixture is 43 : 62.
