A 60 litre mixture of sugar and water contains sugar and water in the ratio 2:3. How many litres of the mixture should be replaced by sugar so that the ratio of sugar and water become 1:1?
A 6
B 10
C 15
D None
Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
ধরি, mixture এর x পরিমানকে sugar দ্বারা replace করতে হবে । অর্থাৎ , sugar/water = {2/5 × (60 - x) + x}/{(3/5) × (60 - x)} = 1/1 Or, (120 - 2x + 5x)/5 = (180 - 3x)/5 Or, 120 + 3x = 180 - 3x Or, 6x = 60 Or, x = 10
