The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the percentage of liquid B in the mixtures prepared by Vipin and Mohit, and then determine the ratio of these percentages. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the total volume of the mixture for Vipin:** - Vipin adds 3 liters of liquid A and 6 liters of liquid B. - Total volume = Volume of A + Volume of B = 3 liters + 6 liters = 9 liters. 2. **Calculate the percentage of liquid B in Vipin's mixture:** - Percentage of B = (Volume of B / Total volume) × 100 - Percentage of B = (6 liters / 9 liters) × 100 = (6/9) × 100 = 66.67%. 3. **Calculate the total volume of the mixture for Mohit:** - Mohit adds 8 liters of liquid A and 15 liters of liquid B. - Total volume = Volume of A + Volume of B = 8 liters + 15 liters = 23 liters. 4. **Calculate the percentage of liquid B in Mohit's mixture:** - Percentage of B = (Volume of B / Total volume) × 100 - Percentage of B = (15 liters / 23 liters) × 100 = (15/23) × 100 ≈ 65.22%. 5. **Find the ratio of the percentages of liquid B in the two mixtures:** - Ratio = Percentage of B in Vipin's mixture : Percentage of B in Mohit's mixture - Ratio = 66.67 : 65.22. 6. **Convert the percentages to a simpler ratio:** - To simplify, we can express both percentages as fractions: - Ratio = (66.67 / 65.22) = (2000 / 1957) (after multiplying both by 100). - This can be simplified further if needed, but for practical purposes, we can use these values directly. ### Final Answer: The ratio of the percentage of liquid B in the two mixtures is approximately **66.67 : 65.22**.
