Question

In a tea stall, 3 parts of sugar and 5 parts of tea powder is used in making tea. X part of the mixture is taken out and compensated that with sugar, so it is half the sugar and half tea powder. Find X?

  • 8/3
  • 8/4
  • 8/5
  • 8/6
Answer- C

Suppose the vessel initially contains 8 kgs of the mixture.

Let x kgs of this mixture be replaced with sugar.

Quantity of sugar in new mixture = (3 - (3x/8) + x) kg

Quantity of tea powder in new mixture = (5 - 5x/8) kg

(3 - (3x/8) + x) = (5 - 5x/8)

5x + 24 = 40 - 5x

10x = 16

x = 8/5
