Multiple choice

An orange glass has orange juice and white glass has apple juice both of equal volumes. 50 ml from orange glass is taken and poured into the white glass and thoroughly mixed. 50 ml from the white glass is poured into the orange glass and mixed. This process is repeated 2 more times. Find the ratio of orange juice in orange glass to apple juice in white glass.

  1. 1 : 2

  2. 2 : 1

  3. 1 : 4

  4. None of these

D Correct answer
Explanation

This is a classic mixture problem. Since the volumes are equal and the process is repeated 3 times, the amount of juice remaining follows a specific ratio. Given the options and the nature of the problem, 'None of these' is the correct choice as the ratio is not a simple integer ratio.

AI explanation

When a swap of equal volumes is performed between two glasses of pure liquids, the total amount of each pure liquid remains distributed symmetrically, and after any number of successive swaps, the ratio of the pure liquid in its original glass to the pure liquid in the other glass is always 1 to 1. Here, the ratio of orange juice in the orange glass to apple juice in the white glass remains 1 to 1, which is not listed among the options. The result is None of these.
