| The ratios of copper to zinc in alloys A and B are 3 : 4 and 5 : 9. respectively. A and B are taken in the ratio 2 : 3 and melted to form a new alloy C. What is the ratio of copper to zinc in C?
A. 8 : 13
B. 27 : 43
C. 3 : 5
D. 9 : 11
Right Answer is: B
SOLUTION
Let the quantity of Cu in new alloy be = .
Applying allegation method –
Hence Cu = 27, Zn = 70 – 27 = 43
the ratio of copper to zinc in C = 27 : 43
