  • C 2 : 5 ✔ ✖
  • D 7 : 3 ✔ ✖
Correct Answer

Explanation


The first alloy is prepared by mixing metals in proportions 7 : 2,
Then the weight of the first alloy will be = 7x + 2x
Assume ’x’ = 1Kg
The weight of the first alloy will be 9kg
The second alloy is prepared by mixing metals in proportions 7 : 11,
The weight of the second alloy will be 18kg
If equal quantities of the two alloys are melted to form a third alloy,
Then 18Kg of first alloy should be used, then its ratio will become 14 : 4,
Now, the proportion of argentum and brass in third alloy = 7 + 14 : 11 + 4 = 21 : 15 = 7 : 5
