Suppose x litres of 50% solution be mixed with y litres of 25% solution.
According to the question,
50% of x + 25% of y = 40% of 10
{tex}\Rightarrow \frac { 50 } { 100 } x + \frac { 25 } { 100 } y = \frac { 40 } { 100 } ( 10 ){/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} {tex}50x + 25y = 40(10){/tex}
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} {tex}2x + y = 16{/tex}..........(i)
The amount of each solution adds to {tex}10\ litres{/tex},
{tex}x + y = 10{/tex}.......(ii)
Subtract (ii) from (i),
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} {tex}x = 6{/tex}
Substituting {tex}x = 6{/tex} in (i), we get {tex}y = 4{/tex}
{tex}\therefore{/tex}{tex}6\ litres{/tex} of 50% solution is to be mixed with {tex}4\ litres{/tex} of 25% solution
