Question

There is a bag with a mixture of sugar, rice and wheat grains. The quantity of rice is ${\frac{4}{5}}^{th}$ that of wheat and the quantity of sugar is ${\frac{3}{4}}^{th}$ that of rice. In 12 kg of the mixture, the amount of wheat and sugar will be there is___

Answer 1

If we take the amount of sugar as 3x, then rice = 4x and wheat = 5x (ratio = 3:4:5; as rice= $\frac{4}{5}$ wheat and sugar = $\frac{3}{4}$ rice)

So in 12 kg of mixture
wheat = 5 kg and sugar = 3 kg. Total = 8 kg
