Question

Four vessels of equal size are filled with mixtures of milk and water. The strength of milk in the four vessels are 80%, 75%, 60% and 50% respectively. If all four mixtures are mixed together then what is the ratio of milk to water in the resultant mixture?

• A. 53: 27
• B. 13 : 27
• C. 29 : 51
• D. 3:5

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 53: 27

Ratio of milk to water in first vessel = 80 : 20 ----(1) Ratio of milk to water in second vessel = 75 : 25 ----(2) Ratio of milk to water in third vessel = 60 : 40 ----(3) Ratio of milk to water in fourth vessel = 50 : 50 ----(4) Add all four equation Ratio of milk to water in fifth vessel = (80 + 75 + 60 + 50) : (20 + 25 + 40 + 50 )=265 : 135 = 53 : 27
