Milk and water in two vessels A and B are in the ratio 4:3 and 2:3 respectively in what ratio the liquids in both the vessels should be mixed to obtain a new mixture in vessel C containing half milk and half water?
Q1. Milk and water in two vessels A and B are in the ratio 4:3 and 2:3 respectively in what ratio the liquids in both the vessels should be mixed to obtain a new mixture in vessel C containing half milk and half water?
Answer: 7:05
Explanation: Milk fractions: A = 4/7, B = 2/5, target = 1/2. By alligation: (1/2−2/5):(4/7−1/2) = (1/10):(1/14) = 7:5.
