Mixture and Alligation
An alloy contains zinc, copper and tin in the ratio 2:3:1 and an other contains copper, tin and lead in the ratio 5:4:3. If equal weights of both alloys are melted together to form a third alloy, then the weight of tin per kg in the new alloy will be: |
12 kg 14 kg 34 kg 79 kg |
14 kg |
Let the weight of the first alloy be 12 kg, zinc = 4kg, copper = 6kg, tin = 2kg Similarly, if the weight of second alloy is also 12 kg copper = 5kg, tin = 4kg, lead = 3kg Total weight of the third alloy = 24kg weight of tin = 4 + 2 = 6kg weight per kg = 624 = 14 kg |
