Question

    Containers A and B hold mixtures of honey and water in

    the ratios of 3:2 and 9:11, respectively. If 12 liters from container A and 24 liters from container B are combined to create a new mixture, what will be the resulting ratio of honey to water in the final blend?
    A 2: 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1: 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1: 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3: 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of honey in the resultant mixture = 12 * 3/5 + 24 * 9/20 = 18 litersQuantity of water in the resultant mixture = 12 * 2/5 + 24 * 11/20 = 18 litersHence, required ratio = 18: 18 = 1: 1
