In the first alloy,zinc and copper are in the ratio $1:2.$ In the second alloy,the same elements are in the ratio $2:3.$ If these two alloys are mixed to form a new alloy in which the two elements are in the ratio $5:8,$ the ratio of these two alloys in the new alloy is

In two types of brass,the ratios of Copper to Zinc are $8:3$ and $15:7$ respectively. If the two types of brass are melted and mixed in the ratio $5:2$,a new type of brass is obtained. The ratio of Copper to Zinc in this new type of brass is:

Nine litres of water are drawn from a container full of water and it is then filled with milk. Nine litres of mixture are drawn and the container is again filled with milk. The ratio of the quantity of water now left in the container to that of the milk in it is $16:9$. How much liquid does the container hold? (in $litres$)

$80 \text{ litre}$ mixture of milk and water contains $10 \%$ milk. How much milk (in $\text{litre}$) must be added to make water percentage in the mixture $80 \% ?$

$A$ man has $60$ pens. He sells some of these at a profit of $12 \%$ and the rest at $8 \%$ loss. On the whole,he gets a profit of $11 \%$. How many pens were sold at $12 \%$ profit?

Two casks of $48$ $litres$ and $42$ $litres$ are filled with mixtures of wine and water,the proportions in the two casks being respectively $13:7$ and $18:17$. If the contents of the two casks are mixed,and $20$ $litres$ of water is added to the whole,what will be the proportion of wine to water in the resultant mixture?
