Question

    In a container, there is a mixture of 120 liters of juice, which has juice and water in the ratio of 3:5, respectively. If 15 liters of water are poured into the mixture, what will be the new ratio of juice to water in the updated mixture?

    A 1:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    C 1:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Quantity of juice in initial mixture = 120 × {3/(3 + 5)} = 45 litres Quantity of water in initial mixture = 120 – 45 = 75 litres Ratio of juice to water in the final mixture = 45:(75 + 15) = 45:90 = 1:2
