Question 9

In what ratio must a mixture of 11% sugar strength be mixed with that of 25% sugar strength so as to get a new mixture of 13% sugar strength?

Solution

Let $$x$$ units of 11% sugar strength be mixed $$y$$ units of of 25% sugar strength.

According to ques,

=> $$11x+25y=13(x+y)$$

=> $$11x+25y=13x+13y$$

=> $$13x-11x=25y-13y$$

=> $$2x=12y$$

=> $$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{12}{2}=\frac{6}{1}$$

$$\therefore$$ Required ratio = $$6:1$$

=> Ans - (B)
