      Question

      An alloy contains copper and zinc in the ratio 5 : 3 and

      another contains copper and tin in the ratio 8 : 5. If equal weights of the two are melted together to form a 3rd alloy, find the weight of tin per kg in the new alloy.

      B 5/13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5/26 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 28/5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      To avoid fractions, take the LCM of 5 + 3 and 8 + 5. If 104 kg of each alloy are mixed, weight of tin in the alloy =            Weight of tin per kg of 3rd alloy =
