  1. 4 vessels of equal sizes contains mixture of spirit and water. The concentration of spirit in 4 vessels are 60 %, 70 %, 75 % and 80 % respectively. If all the 4 mixtures are mixed, find in the resultant mixture the ratio of spirit to water
    1. 57 : 13
    2. 23 : 57
    3. 57 : 23
    4. None of these
Correct Option: C

Given : - The concentration of spirit in 4 vessels are 60%, 70%, 75% and 80% respectively.
Ratio of spirit to water in the different vessels

60
= 3 : 2,
75
= 3 : 1,
4025

70
= 7 : 3,
80
= 4 : 1
3020

Now, applying the given rule,
we have the required ratio =
