.if a and b are mixed in 3:5 ration and b,c are mixed in 8:5 ration if the final mixture is 35 litres,find the amount

• a/b= 3/5 ie. 5a=3b.or a=3b/5
  b/c=8/5 ie. 5b=8c.or c=5b/8
  & given:
  a+b+c= 35
  or (3b/5)+(b)+(5b/8)= 35
  b= 15.73........ans

• a:b=3:5 & b:c=8:5
  
  1st try to common b in both ratio for that multiply a:b with 8 & b:c with 5 makes ratio a:b:c=24:40:25
  #now amount of b in mix= [40/(24+40+25)]* 35 = 15.73 lit (16 lit approx)
