Two alloys are both made up of copper and tin. The ratio of copper and tin in the first alloy is 1 : 3 and in second alloy is 2 : 5. In what ratio should two alloys be mixed, to obtain a new alloy such that the ratio of copper and tin be 3 : 8 ?
दो मिश्रधातु ताँबे तथा टिन से बने हैं पहली मिश्रधातु में ताँबा तथा टिन का अनुपात 1 : 3 है तथा दूसरे में अनुपात 2 : 5 है। इन दोनों मिश्रधातुओं को किस अनुपात में मिलाया जाए, ताकि नई मिश्रधातु में ताँबे तथा टिन का अनुपात 3 : 8 हो जाए ?

Correct answer: C. 4 : 7
Explanation
Copper fraction 1/4 and 2/7, target 3/11. Ratio = (2/7 − 3/11) : (3/11 − 1/4) = 1/77 : 1/44 = 4 : 7.
ताँबे का भाग 1/4 व 2/7, लक्ष्य 3/11; अनुपात = 1/77 : 1/44 = 4 : 7।
