Question

Reshma prepared 18 kg of Burfi by mixing Khoya with sugar in the ratio of 7 : 2. How much Khoya did she use?

Answer 1

The ratio of Khoya to sugar = 7 : 2

Let the quantity of Khoya be 7x kg and sugar be 2x kg.

∴ 7x + 2x = 18

⇒ 9x = 18 

⇒ x = `18/9` = 2

∴ The quantity of Khoya be (7 × 2) kg = 14 kg
