Consider three mixtures - the first having water and liquid A in the ratio 1 : 2, the second having water and liquid B in the ratio 1 : 3, and the third having water and liquid C in the ratio 1 : 4. These three mixtures of A, B, and C, respectively, are further mixed in the proportion 4:3:2. Then the resulting mixture has
Correct Answer :
More water than liquid B
Solution :
Correct Option: C
First mixture has 2/3rds A and the rest water. Second mixture has 3/4ths B and the rest water. Third mixture has
4/5ths C and the rest water.
The 3 mixtures are mixed in the ratio 4 : 3 : 2. Let’s say we get a 1 litre mixture containing the three mixtures.
C. (the remaining part would be water)
8/27 litres A, 9/36 litres B, 8/45 litres C
∴ There is more water than B in the resultant solution. Choice (3)
