In a sugar-water solution, the ratio of water to sugar is 8: If you add 2 kgs of sugar, the ratio becomes 2: What was the amount of sugar in the original solution?
সমাধান
সঠিক উত্তর: Option D
the ratio of water to sugar is 8:3.
Water is 8x kg
Sugar is 3x kg
According to the statement of If you add 2 kgs of sugar, the ratio becomes 2:1,
8x : (3x+2) = 2: 1
=> 8x/(3x+2) = 2/1
=> 8x = 6x + 4
=> 2x = 4
=> x = 2
So sugar in original solution = 3x = 6kg
