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.
In a 90 litre solution, acid and water are in the ratio 2 ∶ 1, To make the ratio of acid and water as 1 ∶ 2, how many litre of water should be added to the solution?
In a milk and water solution, the ratio of milk to water is 1 : 4. M litres of milk is added in it and ratio become 1 : 3. Again N litres of water is added in it and ratio become 2 : 7. If N – M = 4, then what is the initial quantity of solution?
A mixture contains acid and alcohol in the ratio of 3 : 2. On adding 10 litres of alcohol in mixture, the ratio of acid to alcohol becomes 3 : 5. The quantity of acid (in litres) in the original mixture was:
How many litres of acid are there in 12 litres of a 20% solution?
A mixture of fog contains water and air in the ratio 5 ∶ 3. On adding 8 liters of air, the ratio of water and air becomes 1 ∶ 1. The quantity of water in the original fog is:
