solution a is made up of alcohol and water mixed in the ratio of 21 : 4 by volume ; solution b is made up of alcohol and water mixed in the ratio of 2 : 3 by volume . if solution a and solution b are mixed in the ratio of 5 : 6 by volume , what percent of the resultant mixture is alcohol ?
let mixture after mixing a and b is 110 ml ( number assumed for calculation because of 5 : 6 ) now solution a is 50 ml and solu b is 60 ml further in a 100 ml a contains 84 ml alch so 50 ml contain 42 ml in mix b 100 ml solution contain 40 ml alc , 60 ml of b , it will be 24 ml alcohol . so 42 + 24 = 66 in 110 ml solution which is 60 % answer : c
multiply(add(multiply(divide(21, add(21, 4)), divide(5, add(5, 6))), multiply(divide(2, add(2, 3)), divide(6, add(5, 6)))), const_100)
