Chemical mixtures X consist of chemicals A and B in ratio of 1 : 3, Chemical Y consist of chemicals A and B in ratio of 3 : 2. Chemical X is present in vessel whose capacity is 2 / 5 times that of vessel in which chemical Y is present. Both the chemicals X and Y are mixed in a large container. What is % of concentration is present in final mixture as A?
Product X is produced by mixing chemical A and chemical B in the ratio of 5 : 4. Chemical A is prepared by mixing two raw materials, P and Q, in the ratio of 1 : 3. Chemical B is prepared by mixing raw materials, Q and R, in the ratio of 2 : 1. Then the final mixture is prepared by mixing 8640 units of product X with water. If the concentration of the raw material Q in the final mixture is 50%, how much water had been added to product X?
