      : 6. They are full of mixture of petrol to kerosene in the ratios of (3:1), (3:2) and (5:1), respectively. The entire quantities of these mixtures from of these three containers are poured into a fourth container. The ratio of petrol to kerosene in the fourth container is ______
      A 5 : 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12 : 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3 : 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 11 : 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the volume of containers be 4 liters, 5 liters, and 6 liters. For Container I, β‡’ Petrol = (3/4 Γ— 4) = 3 liters β‡’ Kerosene = (1/4 Γ— 4) = 1 liters For Container II, β‡’ Petrol = (3/5 Γ— 5) = 3 liters β‡’ Kerosene = (2/5 Γ— 5) = 2 liters For Container III, β‡’ Petrol = (5/6 Γ— 6) = 5 liters β‡’ Kerosene = (1/6 Γ— 6) = 1 liters The required ratio for the IV container, Total petrol : Total kerosene β‡’ (3 + 3 + 5) : (1 + 2 + 1) β‡’ 11 : 4 ∴The ratio of petrol to kerosene in the fourth container is 11 : 4.
