Options:

$34\frac{1}{6}$

$64\frac{1}{3}$

$60\frac{2}{3}$

$65\frac{5}{6}$

Correct Answer:

$65\frac{5}{6}$

Explanation:

 Average %age  of orange juice in new vessel = \(\frac{35 + 33 + 1/3}{2}\) =  34\(\frac{1}{6}\)%

( capacity of both the bottles are same )

SO , percentage of Apple juice in new vessel = 1 - 34\(\frac{1}{6}\)%

= 65\(\frac{5}{6}\)%
