In a mixture of a b c if a and b are mixed in 3 5 ratio and b and

a:b=3:5 ......1
b:c=8:5 ......2
a:b=24:40 since (1)*8
b:c=40:25 since (2)*5
a:b:c=24:40:25
let a=24x,b=40x,c=25x
mixture=(24x+40x+25x)=35 ltr
x=35/89
hence b=40*35/8915.73 ltr

a:b = 3:5
b:c = 8:5
so a:b:c = 24:40:25
so amount of b = 40*35/(24+40+25) = 15.73 liters

a:b=3:5
b:c=8:5

a:b:c=(3*8):(5*8):(5*5)

b=40*35/89

given
a+b+c=35
a/b=3/5.....so,a=3*b/5
b/c=8/5........so,c=5*b/8
put the value of 'a' and 'c' in a+b+c=35
u get,
b = 1400/89 =15.73

3:8*(5/8):5*(5/8)
24:40:25
b=(35*40)/89

a/b=3/5, b/c=8/5,, b/c=5*8*1/5*8/5*1/40
b/c=5/5/40,,,,, therefor a:b:c= 3:5:5/40 = 120:200:5
b=200/325*35=21.5

after solving the equations the value we get is b=35*40/89.

In a mixture of a, b, & c, if a and b are mixed in 3:5 ratio and b and c are mixed in 8:5 Ratio and if the final mixture is 35 liters, find the amount of b?
