Question

    180 litres of a mixture is made up of juice and soda in the

    ratio of 4:5, respectively. If 36 litres of the mixture is withdrawn and replaced with the same amount of juice, what will be the new ratio of juice to soda?
    A 5:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Remaining quantity of the original mixture = 180 – 36 = 144 litres

    Quantity of juice in final mixture = 144 × (4/9) + 36 = 64 + 36 = 100 litres

    Quantity of soda in final mixture = 144 × (5/9) = 80 litres

    Ratio of juice and soda in the final mixture = 100:80 = 5:4
