A liquid containing 35% of an acid is mixed with another liquid containing 45% of the acid in a ratio x : y. If the percentage of acid in the final mixture is 41%, find the ratio x : y.
A liquid containing 35% of an acid is mixed with another liquid containing 45% of the acid in a ratio x : y. If the percentage of acid in the final mixture is 41%, find the ratio x : y. Correct Answer 2 : 3
The ratio in which the liquids are mixed = x : y. X : y = (45 – 41) : (45 – 35) = 4 : 6 = 2 : 3
