    In a mixture 'P', the ratio of milk to water is 7:5. In

    another mixture 'Q', the ratio is 1:2. If 72 litres of P and 54 litres of Q are mixed, find the final milk to water ratio.
    A 10:11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15:23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15:19 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12:11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Milk in P = (7/12) ├Ч 72 = 42 litres

    Water in P = (5/12) ├Ч 72 = 30 litres

    Milk in Q = (1/3) ├Ч 54 = 18 litres

    Water in Q = (2/3) ├Ч 54 = 36 litres

    Required ratio = (42 + 18) : (30 + 36) = 60 : 66 = 10 : 11
