Correct Answer: 7 : 27
Solution : Given: A litre of water weighs a kilogram = 1000 gm A litre of a 2 nd liquid weighs 1.340 kilograms = 1340 gm A litre of a mixture of the two weighs 1.270 kilograms = 1270 gm So, the ratio of their volumes in a litre of the mixture is: By using alligation ⇒ L1 : L2 = (greater density – mean density) : (mean density – lesser density) = (1340 – 1270) : (1270 – 1000) = 70 : 270 = 7 : 27 Hence, the correct answer is 7 : 27.
