To solve this problem, we need to calculate the composition of the new alloy C that is created by mixing equal quantities of two alloys, A and B, and deduce the amount of gold in C based on the given information.
Here are the steps to solve the problem:
Given that the copper content in C is 10 kg:
We solve for \(x\):
Now, substituting value of \(x\) back to find gold content in C:
Thus, the amount of gold in alloy C is 14 kg.
One cup has juice and water in the ratio 5 ∶ 2, while another cup of the same capacity has them in the ratio 7 ∶ 4, respectively. If contents of both the cups (when full) are poured in a vessel, then what will be the final ratio of water to juice in the vessel?
A and B are solutions of acid and water. The ratios of water and acid in A and B are 4 : 5 and 1 : 2 respectively. If x liters of A is mixed with y liters of B, then the ratio of water and acid in the mixture becomes 8 : 13 What is x : y?
A drink of chocolate and milk contains 8% pure chocolate by volume. If 10 litres of pure milk are added to 50 litres of this drink, the percentage of chocolate in the new drink is:
Mixture A contains chocolate and milk in the ratio 4 ∶ 3 and mixture B contains chocolate and milk in the ratio 5 ∶ 2. A and B are taken in the ratio 5 ∶ 6 and mixed to form a new mixture. The percentage of chocolate in the new mixture is closest to:
If 80 litres of milk solution has 60% milk in it, then how much milk should be added to make milk 80% in the solution?
