Solution
In mixture G,
The number of blue containers = 3
The number of white containers = 3
∴ Ratio of blue and white = `3/3` = 1
In mixture H,
The number of blue containers = 4
The number of white containers = 3
∴ Ratio of blue and white = `4/3` = 1.33
Clearly, mixture G would be lighter shade, since for lighter shade white container should be more than blue container.
From the above all mixtures, mixture D is lightest among them.
∴ The total number of containers required for painting = 105
∴ Number of blue containers required for painting = `2/7 xx 105` = 2 × 15 = 30
∴ Number of white containers required for painting = `5/7 xx 105` = 5 × 15 = 75
