Alloy A contains metals x and y in the ratio 5 : 2 and alloy B contains these metals in the ratio 3 : 4. Alloy C is prepared by mixing A and B in the ratio 4 : 5. The percentage of y in alloy C is: |
$55 \frac{5}{9} \%$ $33 \frac{4}{9} \%$ $44 \frac{4}{9} \%$ $66 \frac{4}{9} \%$ |
$44 \frac{4}{9} \%$ |
Alloy A x : y 5 : 2 Alloy B, x : y 3 : 4 As A(x + y) = B(x + y), therefore, Alloy C Ratio of x and y in Alloy C = 35 : 28 = 5 : 4, Percentage of y in Alloy C = \(\frac{4}{9}\) x 100 = $44 \frac{4}{9} \%$ |
