The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of fat to non-fat contents in a mixture of three types of milk: Parag, Amul, and Nestle. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Ratios of Each Milk - **Parag Milk**: The ratio of fat to non-fat is 4:5. - **Amul Milk**: The ratio of fat to non-fat is 5:6. - **Nestle Milk**: The ratio of fat to non-fat is 6:7. ### Step 2: Convert Ratios to Fat and Non-Fat Contents For easier calculations, let's assume we take 1 liter of each type of milk. 1. **Parag**: - Total parts = 4 + 5 = 9 - Fat = (4/9) liters - Non-fat = (5/9) liters 2. **Amul**: - Total parts = 5 + 6 = 11 - Fat = (5/11) liters - Non-fat = (6/11) liters 3. **Nestle**: - Total parts = 6 + 7 = 13 - Fat = (6/13) liters - Non-fat = (7/13) liters ### Step 3: Calculate Total Fat and Non-Fat Contents in the Mixture Now, we will find the total fat and non-fat contents when we mix equal quantities of each milk. - **Total Fat**: - From Parag: (4/9) liters - From Amul: (5/11) liters - From Nestle: (6/13) liters To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 9, 11, and 13 is 1287. Calculating each term: - Parag: \((4/9) = (4 \times 143)/(9 \times 143) = 572/1287\) - Amul: \((5/11) = (5 \times 117)/(11 \times 117) = 585/1287\) - Nestle: \((6/13) = (6 \times 99)/(13 \times 99) = 594/1287\) Now, add these: \[ \text{Total Fat} = \frac{572 + 585 + 594}{1287} = \frac{1751}{1287} \text{ liters} \] - **Total Non-Fat**: - From Parag: (5/9) liters - From Amul: (6/11) liters - From Nestle: (7/13) liters Calculating each term: - Parag: \((5/9) = (5 \times 143)/(9 \times 143) = 715/1287\) - Amul: \((6/11) = (6 \times 117)/(11 \times 117) = 702/1287\) - Nestle: \((7/13) = (7 \times 99)/(13 \times 99) = 693/1287\) Now, add these: \[ \text{Total Non-Fat} = \frac{715 + 702 + 693}{1287} = \frac{2110}{1287} \text{ liters} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Ratio of Fat to Non-Fat in the Mixture Now we have: - Total Fat = \( \frac{1751}{1287} \) - Total Non-Fat = \( \frac{2110}{1287} \) The ratio of fat to non-fat is: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{1751}{2110} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Ratio To simplify, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD is 1, so the ratio remains: \[ \text{Ratio of Fat to Non-Fat} = 1751 : 2110 \] ### Final Answer The ratio of fat to non-fat contents in the mixture is **1751 : 2110**. ---
