Let there be 30 litres of each solution.aditihi.... try this puzzle
there are two solutions containing water & milk in the ratio 1:4 & 1:5.
now they mixed. so what is the ratio of water & milk in new solution
the given choices..
a) 2:9 b)5:9 c)9:20 d)5:20

I am pretty sure that there is no crap in this question...nehaSame here,even I got the answer as 11:49..check the options again.
Aditi,u can use the thread aptitude for such questions and your problems.

I don't know how i missed this one but I think rick u are exactly on the right track but the point where my solution differs is if you are considering 1part of water as 6 for the first solution then why are you taking the same unit i.e. 1 unit of same liquid i.e. water as 5 in the other solution? So worked it out that way it will come to 2:9 which exists in the options provided. so aditi whats the answer? i think its long time plz post in the answer.😁rickLet there be 30 litres of each solution.
So quantity of Water & Milk in first solution is 6 litre & 24 litre, respectively.
similarly, quantity of Water & Milk in second solution is 5 litre & 25 litre, respectively.
If the two solutions are added, total quantity of solutions = 60 litre.
Qutantity of water = 6 + 5 = 11 litre.
Quantity of milk = 24 + 25 = 49 litre.
Required ratio = 11/49
😒 ... have you verified the options?

I could not get your point. I think Rick has the perfect answer. How did you get 2:9 ?integratdbrainsI don't know how i missed this one but I think rick u are exactly on the right track but the point where my solution differs is if you are considering 1part of water as 6 for the first solution then why are you taking the same unit i.e. 1 unit of same liquid i.e. water as 5 in the other solution?

Let there be 30 litres of each solution.Does the problem mention that we have "equal quantities" of both the solutions? Why assume?

@thebigk • Oct 7, 2006
Mahesh, the problem does not talk about equal quantities. The reasoning by Rick is perfect except that we cannot have equal quantities of the solutions.MaheshHi Biggie,
Can u explain same soln if we take equal quantities that to same 30L?
