P is \(1\frac{3 }{7}\) times as heavy as water and water is \(1\frac{2 }{5}\) times as heavy as Q. The amount of P that must be added to 7 liters of Q so that the mixture may weigh as much as an equal volume of water will be? |
\(3\frac{2 }{3}\) \(2\frac{1 }{3}\) \(4\frac{2 }{3}\) \(2\frac{2 }{5}\) |
\(4\frac{2 }{3}\) |
\(1\frac{3 }{7}\) = \(\frac{10}{7}\) \(1\frac{2}{5}\) = \(\frac{7}{5}\) Ratio of weight : P : W = 10 : 7 W : Q = 7 : 5 Hence, P : W : Q = 10 : 7 : 5 Now, ATQ |
