The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) in Urea, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Composition of the Mixture We know that the mixture of Dia and Urea has the following composition: - Nitrogen (N): 26% - Phosphorus (P): 68% - Potassium (K): 6% And the composition of Dia is: - Nitrogen (N): 20% - Phosphorus (P): 70% - Potassium (K): 10% Urea consists of only Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P). ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations Let’s denote: - \( x \) = the fraction of Dia in the mixture - \( y \) = the fraction of Urea in the mixture From the information given, we know: - \( x + y = 1 \) (since the total mixture is 100%) The contributions to N and P from Dia and Urea can be expressed as: - For Nitrogen: \[ 0.20x + N_U = 0.26 \] - For Phosphorus: \[ 0.70x + P_U = 0.68 \] Where \( N_U \) and \( P_U \) are the percentages of N and P in Urea. ### Step 3: Solve for \( N_U \) and \( P_U \) From the first equation, we can express \( N_U \): \[ N_U = 0.26 - 0.20x \] From the second equation, we can express \( P_U \): \[ P_U = 0.68 - 0.70x \] ### Step 4: Find the Ratio of N and P in Urea Since Urea consists only of N and P, we need to find the ratio \( \frac{N_U}{P_U} \): \[ \frac{N_U}{P_U} = \frac{0.26 - 0.20x}{0.68 - 0.70x} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( x \) and Simplify To find the values of \( x \) and \( y \), we can use the total percentage of K in the mixture: - K in Dia = 10% and K in Urea = 0% - The total K in the mixture is 6%, so: \[ 10x + 0y = 0.06 \] This implies: \[ x = 0.06 / 0.10 = 0.6 \] Thus, \( y = 1 - x = 0.4 \). ### Step 6: Substitute \( x \) Back Now substituting \( x = 0.6 \) back into the equations for \( N_U \) and \( P_U \): \[ N_U = 0.26 - 0.20(0.6) = 0.26 - 0.12 = 0.14 \] \[ P_U = 0.68 - 0.70(0.6) = 0.68 - 0.42 = 0.26 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Ratio Now we can find the ratio of N to P in Urea: \[ \frac{N_U}{P_U} = \frac{0.14}{0.26} = \frac{14}{26} = \frac{7}{13} \] ### Final Answer The ratio of Nitrogen (N) to Phosphorus (P) in Urea is \( 7:13 \). ---
