      Question

      A chemist combines three solutions with active

      ingredient concentrations of 10%, 20%, and 30% in the ratio 2:3:5. If the total volume of the mixture is 600 liters, calculate the concentration of active ingredients in the resulting solution.
      A 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 21% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 23% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 27% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the volume of these three solutions be 2x, 3x and 5x. 2x+3x+5x = 600 10x = 600 x = 60 so, the volume of these three solutions are 120, 180 and 300 liters active ingredient in resulting solution = 10% of 120 + 20% of 180 + 30% of 300 = 12+36+90 = 138 Concentration in resulting solution = 138/600 ├Ч100 = 23%
