Pomegranate juice contains 10% sugar solution and orange juice contains 30% sugar solution. What is the percentage of sugar solution in a mixture of two liters of pomegranate juice and three liters of orange juice?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 22%.
Sugar in pomegranate juice = 10% of 2 liters = 0.2 liters
Sugar in orange juice = 30% of 3 liters = 0.9 liters
The total volume of mixture = 2 + 3 = 5 liters
Total sugar in mixture = 0.2 + 0.9 = 1.1 liters
Thus,
Percentage of sugar = 1.1/5 × 100 = 110/5 = 22%
