Question

A tea stall adds 4 cubes of sugar for every 2 cups of tea. The stall also prepares coffee at a sugar to cup ratio of 3 : 1. The sweeter drink is

• A. Neither
• B. Tea
• C. Coffee

Answer 1

The correct option is C Coffee

$Tea:$

$\text{Number of sugar cubes added for 2 cups}\text{of tea}=4$

$⟹\text{Number of sugar cubes added for}\text{1 cup of tea}=4÷2=2$

$\therefore \text{Ratio of sugar cubes to cups of tea}=2:1$

$Coffee:$

$\text{Ratio of sugar cubes to cups of coffee}=3:1$

$3>2$

$⟹\text{The coffee is sweeter than the tea.}$
