Question

Direction(5-8): The radar graph gives the ratio values of mixture of milk and water in 5 vessels.(A , B , C , D, E) For example: Ratio of milk and water in vessel D is 4 : 3.

In what ratio must the mixture in the vessel C and D be mixed to get the final ratio of milk and water as 3 : 2?

• A. 9 : 14
• B. 3: 2
• C. 6 : 7
• D. 5 : 7

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3: 2

Plotting the data from the radar graph,
From options:

Option A:

Required ratio =$\frac{2}{3}\times 9+\frac{4}{7}\times 14:\frac{1}{3}\times 9+\frac{3}{7}\times 14=14:9$

Option B:

Required ratio = $\frac{2}{3}\times 3+\frac{4}{7}\times 7:\frac{1}{3}\times 3+\frac{3}{7}\times 7=3:2$

So, the answer is option B.
