In making an alloy,a substance of specific gravity $s_1$ and mass $m_1$ is mixed with another substance of specific gravity $s_2$ and mass $m_2$; then the specific gravity of the alloy is

  • A
    $\left( \frac{m_1 + m_2}{s_1 + s_2} \right)$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{s_1 s_2}{m_1 + m_2} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{m_1 + m_2}{\left( \frac{m_1}{s_1} + \frac{m_2}{s_2} \right)}$
  • D
    $\frac{\left( \frac{m_1}{s_1} + \frac{m_2}{s_2} \right)}{m_1 + m_2}$
