Question

Sugar solution in jar A contain 20% sugar in it and jar B contain 30% . It is taken 4 liter and 6 liter respectively and mixed to get what % of sugar solution ?

• A. 56
• B. 26
• C. 46
• D. 32

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 26

Basic Concept: Calculating Sugar Content

• To determine the amount of sugar in each jar, multiply the total volume by the respective sugar percentage.

• For Jar A: Amount of sugar = 20% of 4 liters = (20/100) × 4 = 0.8 liters.

• For Jar B: Amount of sugar = 30% of 6 liters = (30/100) × 6 = 1.8 liters.

Calculating Total Sugar and Total Volume

• The total amount of sugar in the mixed solution is the sum of sugar from both jars: 0.8 liters (from A) + 1.8 liters (from B) = 2.6 liters.

• The total volume of the mixed solution is the sum of the volumes from both jars: 4 liters (from A) + 6 liters (from B) = 10 liters.

Determining the Final Percentage

• The percentage of sugar in the final mixture is calculated by dividing the total amount of sugar by the total volume of the solution, then multiplying by 100.

• Percentage of sugar = (Total Sugar / Total Volume) × 100 = (2.6 / 10) × 100 = 0.26 × 100 = 26%.
