Two mixtures contain milk and juice in the ratio of 2 : 1 and 4 : 5. If equal volumes of the two mixtures are mixed together, what would be ratio of milk to juice in the resulting mixture?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 5 : 4
| Understanding | Application |
|---|---|
|
Suppose the quantity of each mixture is 9 litres: In 1st mixture: Milk : juice = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3 i.e. total = 9 In 2nd mixture: Milk : juice = 4 : 5 i.e. total = 9 |
After mixing both the mixtures: Milk : Juice = 6 + 4 : 3 + 5 = 10 : 8 = 5 : 4 |
