In a particular type of 15 kg of alloy the ratio of iron to carbon is 2:3. Now 3kg of iron is added to the mixture.
Choose the correct options below:
The ratio of iron to carbon will be 1:1.
The amount of iron initially in the mixture is 6kg.
Initially, amount of the iron in 15kg of alloy = 25×15=6kg
Amount of carbon in 15kg of alloy=(15-6)=9kg
After adding 3kg of iron, amount of iron=(6+3)kg=9kg
∴ironcarbon=99=1:1
Hence, (B) and (C) are correct options.
