To get a new alloy, 72 kg of Alloy A is mixed with 70 kg of Alloy B. In Alloy A, Zn:Cu is 3:6. In Alloy B, Zn:Cu is 4:3. What is the weight of Zinc in the new alloy?

Correct Answer

84 kg

• **Alloy A:** 72 kg. Ratio 3:6 (1:2). Zn = (1/3)*72 = 24 kg. • **Alloy B:** 70 kg. Ratio 4:3. Zn = (4/7)*70 = 40 kg. • **Total Zinc:** 24 + 40 = 64 kg.......

💡 Analysis & Explanation

• **Alloy A ▼

** 72 kg. Ratio 3:6 (1:2). Zn = (1/3)*72 = 24 kg.

• **Alloy B ▼

** 70 kg. Ratio 4:3. Zn = (4/7)*70 = 40 kg.

• **Total Zinc ▼

** 24 + 40 = 64 kg.
