A mixture of oils is prepared by mixing two mixtures A and B in the ratio 2 ∶ 1. Mixture A is made by mixing olive oil and jasmine oil in ratio 3 ∶ 1, while mixture B is made by mixing coconut oil and almond oil in ratio 2 ∶ 3. How much jasmine oil and coconut oil is required to prepare 750 ml of the final mixture of oils respectively? Correct Answer 125 ml, 100 ml

GIVEN :

Ratio of final mixture = 2 ∶ 1

Ratio of mixture A = 3 ∶ 1

Ratio of mixture B = 2 ∶ 3

 

CALCULATION :

⇒ Quantity of mixture A in 750 ml final mixture = 2/3 × 750 = 500 ml

⇒ Quantity of jasmine oil in 500 ml mixture A = 1/4 × 500 = 125 ml

⇒ Quantity of mixture B in 750 ml final mixture = 1/3 × 750 = 250 ml

⇒ Quantity of coconut oil in 250 ml mixture B = 2/5 × 250 = 100 ml

∴ To prepare 750 ml of final mixture of oils, 125 ml jasmine oil and 100 ml coconut oil is required
