    the ratio 7:2, respectively and 480 litres of mixture 'Y' contains milk and honey, only in the ratio 13:3, respectively. If mixtures 'X' and 'Y' are mixed, then what will be ratio of quantities of milk to that of honey in the resultant mixture?
    A 5:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Quantity of milk in mixture 'A' = 270 X (7/9) = 210 litres

    Quantity of honey in mixture 'A' = 270 - 210 = 60 litres

    Quantity of milk in mixture 'B' = 480 X (13/16) = 390 litres

    Quantity of honey in mixture 'B' = 480 - 390 = 90 litres

    Therefore, required ratio = (210 + 390) :(60 + 90) = 600:150 = 4:1
