In a mixture of a, b and c, if a and b are mixed in 3:5 ratio and b and c are mixed in 8:5 ratio and if the final mixture is 35 liters, find the amount of b?
Pick:
A) 15.73	B) 15.79	C) 15.77	D) 15.72	E) 15.71
Ans: As b is common in both ratios, we should equate b in both ratios by multiplying suitable numbers.   a:b = 3 : 5 = 24 : 40   b:c = 8 : 5 = 40 : 25   Now a : b : c = 24 : 40 : 25.   15.73mount of b in the mixture = 4089×354089×35 = 15.73   15.73nswer:
