Re: Mixture

Hi folks,

I solved this problem. However, I am not able to get where I messed up such that I am unable to reach to the solution.

J1: 5:7

J2: 7:2

J3: 3:4 (J1+J2)

Let us take x from J1 and y from J2

Water from X: 5x
Water from Y: 7y

Orange from X: 7x
Orange from Y: 2y

Given in the question is that in what ratio J1+J2 such that J3: 3:4 Implies we have to calculate x:y

=> (5x+7y)/(7x+2y) = 3/4

=> (5 (x/y) + 7)/( 7 (x/y) +2) = 3/4

=> ( 5A + 7 ) / (7A +2 ) = 3/4

=> A=22

=> (x/y) = 22

Please advice where I am committing mistake.

Thanks in advance
