Question 11 : A 20% ethanol solution is mixed with another ethanol solution, say, S of unknown concentration in the proportion 1:3 by volume. This mixture is then mixed with an equal volume of 20% ethanol solution. If the resultant mixture is a 31.25% ethanol solution, then the unknown concentration of S is
Given that 20% ethanol solution is mixed with another ethanol solution, say, S of unknown concentration in the proportion 1:3 by volume
This M is then mixed with an equal volume of 20% ethanol solution. If the resultant mixture is a 31.25% ethanol solution ,then the unknown concentration of S has to be found
Equal quantities of mixture and 20% ethanol solution are mixed in equal ratio to get 31.25%
The mixture and 20% ethanol solution are mixed in equal ratio to get 31.25%. This 31.25% is 11.25% more than this 20%. This mixture must be 11.25% more than 31.25% so mixture is equal to 42.5%
This mixture 42.5% is mixed in the ratio 1:3
Using allegations we can find this 22.5% which should be in the ratio 1:3 so the other one is 7.5%
S = 42.5 + 7.5
S = 50%
Here to find the solution, do the second thing first and then go to the first thing
The second one is mixed in the ratio 1 : 1 so that the final thing should be bang in the middle
The question is "A 20% ethanol solution is mixed with another ethanol solution, say, S of unknown concentration in the proportion 1:3 by volume. This mixture is then mixed with an equal volume of 20% ethanol solution. If the resultant mixture is a 31.25% ethanol solution, then the unknown concentration of S is"
Choice A is the correct answer.
