Sample question from this paper

Ratio & Mixtures · medium

Vessel A contains milk and water in the ratio 5:2 and vessel B contains milk and water in the ratio 3:4. Equal quantities from A and B are mixed together. What is the ratio of milk to water in the resulting mixture?
  1. A. 3:4
  2. B. 4:3
  3. C. 5:2
  4. D. 1:1
Show answer and solution
Answer: B
Milk fraction in A = 5/7, in B = 3/7. Mixing equal quantities, milk fraction in mixture = (5/7+3/7)/2 = (8/7)/2 = 4/7. So water fraction = 3/7, giving milk:water = 4:3.
