Question:
What is the ratio of the two liquids A and B in the mixture finally, if these two liquids kept in three vessels are mixed together? (The containers are of equal volume.)
I. The ratio of liquid A to liquid B in the first and second vessel is 3:5 and 2:3 respectively.
II. The ratio of liquid A to liquid B in vessel 3 is 4:3.

Show Hint
If a question asks about the combined ratio from multiple containers, you need ratio data for all containers involved.

- The question cannot be answered even with the help of both the statements taken together.
- The question can be answered by any one of the statements
- Each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question, but not the other one.
- Both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question

The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
I: Ratio for only two vessels — cannot find final mixture ratio without the third.
II: Ratio for only one vessel — cannot find final mixture ratio without the other two.
Combining I and II: We know the ratios for all three vessels of equal volume, so total quantities of A and B can be summed and the final ratio found. %Quick tip
