Question

30 gm of sugar was mixed in 180 ml of water in a vessel A, 40 gm of sugar was mixed in 280 ml of water in vessel B, and 20 gm of sugar was mixed in 100 ml of water in vessel C. The solution in vessel B is:

• A. Sweeter than C.
• B. Sweeter than that in A.
• C. As sweet as that in C.
• D. Less sweet than that in C.

Hint:

Sweetness of a mixture = sugar/water. Compare ratios to determine relative sweetness.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Calculate sweetness ratio (sugar/water) \[ \text{A: } \frac{30}{180} = 0.1667
\text{B: } \frac{40}{280} = 0.1429
\text{C: } \frac{20}{100} = 0.2 \] Step 2: Compare sweetness \[ \text{C>A>B} \Rightarrow \text{B is less sweet than C} \Rightarrow \boxed{\text{Option (D)}} \]
