एका कॅनमध्ये A आणि B या दोन द्रवांचे मिश्रण 7 : 5 या प्रमाणात आहे. जेव्हा त्यातील 9 लिटर मिश्रण काढून घेतले आणि B द्रवामाने तो कॅन पूर्णपणे भरला तर A आणि B चे प्रमाण 7 : 9 झाले. तर त्या कॅनमध्ये सुरवातीला A चे द्रवण किती असेल ? A can contains a mixture of two liquids A and B in the ratio 7 : 5. When 9 litres of the mixture is drawn off and the can is filled with B, the ratio of A and B becomes 7 : 9. How many litres of liquid A was contained by the can initially ?

1)10 लिटर / 10 litres
2)20 लिटर / 20 litres
3)21 लिटर / 21 litres✓ Correct
4)25 लिटर / 25 litres

Using the replacement formula or ratio method, when 9 litres of mixture is replaced with liquid B multiple times, the initial quantity of liquid A can be found by working backwards from the final ratio 7:9.

2)(a) फक्त / (a) only✓ Correct
3)(b) फक्त / (b) only
4)(c) फक्त / (c) only

Iron (लोह) is a chemical element and therefore a pure substance, whereas gasoline, cow's milk, and sea water are mixtures containing multiple components.

1)पाणी / Water✓ Correct
2)हवा / Air
3)माती / Soil

Water (H2O) is a chemical compound, not a mixture, as its constituents are combined in a fixed chemical proportion.
