Q1. The milk and water in two vessels A and B are in the ratio 4:3 and 2:3 respectively. IN what ratio, the liquids be mixed in both the vessels so that the new liquid contains half milk and half water?
Answer: 7:05
Explanation: Using alligation: milk fractions 4/7 and 2/5, target 1/2; difference ratios (1/2−2/5):(4/7−1/2) = (1/10):(1/14) = 14:10 = 7:5.
