Consider three mixtures- the first having water and liquid A in the ratio 1 : 2, the second having water and liquid B in the ratio 1 : 3, and the third having water and liquid C in the ratio 1 : 4. These three mixtures of A, B, and C, respectively, are further mixed in the proportion 4 : 3 : 2. Then the resulting mixture has

Question: Consider three mixtures- the first having water and liquid A in the ratio 1 : 2, the second having water and liquid B in the ratio 1 : 3, and the third having water and liquid C in the ratio 1 : 4. These three mixtures of A, B, and C, respectively, are further mixed in the proportion 4 : 3 : 2. Then the resulting mixture has

Solution:
Mixtures A, B, & C are mixed in the ratio 4 : 3 : 2
Let the volumes = 4k, 3k, 2k respectively

Assume k = 60 [LCM(3, 4 & 5) = 60]
Volume of Liquid A = 8k/3 = 160
Volume of Liquid B = 9k/4 = 135
Volume of Liquid C = 8k/5 = 96
Volume of water = (4k/3) + (3k/4) + (2k/5)
= 80 + 45 + 24
= 149

There is more water than Liquid B
