Find out the ratio of milk to that of water ,if a mixture is formed after mixing milk and water of 3 different vessels containning the mixture of milk to that of water in the proportion 3:2, 7:3, 9:2 respectively.
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- 3+2=5,7+3=10,9+2=11
now,
3/5+7/10+9/11 : 2/5+3/10+2/11
=>233/110 : 97/110
=> 233 : 97 (final ans) - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(0)
- we have 3:2 i.e 3+2=5, 7:3 i.e 7+3=10, 9:2 i.e 9+2 =11
Take the LCM of 5,10,11 = 110
for vessel 1
Milk (110/5)*3=66
Water(110/5)*2=44
Likewise,
for vessel 2
milk= 77 water =33
for vessel 3
milk =90 water=20
add up milk nd Water differently i.e. 233:97 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
- ( assume)
let vassels v1=3:2=110lit 66lit milk :44lit water
vassels v2=7:3=110lit 77lit milk :33lit water
vassels v3=9:2=110lit 90lit milk :2olit water
-------------------------------------
total=233lit milk :97lit water - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(9)
- let total mix of milk and water =110 litre so in vessel v1 = 110/5x3=66 lit milk and 110/5x2=44 lit water.
similarly i v2=77lit milk and 33 lit water, v3=90 lit milk and 20 lit water so total ratio of milk and water is=233:97 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- M:W=3:2
M:W=7:3
M:W=9:2
3/5*5*10*11 7/10*5*10*11
9/11*5*10*11
-----------------------------------------------------
330 385
450
----------------------------------
65 120
---------------------------------
therefore ratio of M:W=65:120 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- M:W=3:2
M:W=7:3
M:W=9:2
assume milk so
3/5*5*10*11 7/10*5*10*11 330 385
450
9/11*5*10*11 =
------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
65 120 =13:24
----------------------------------- - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
