### A and B are two alloys of gold and copper prepared by mixing metals in the ratio 5 : 3 and 5 : 11 respectively. Equal quantities of these alloys are melted to form a third alloys C. The ratio of gold and copper in the alloy C is –

A. 25 : 13 B. 33 : 15 C. 15 : 17 D. 17 : 15 Answer: Option C

### Solution(By Apex Team)

$\begin{array}{l}\text{According to the question,}\\ \left.\begin{array}{l} \text { Alloy } \mathrm{A} \rightarrow 5 \times{ }_{2}: 3 \times_{2}=8 \times_{2} \\ \text { Alloy } \mathrm{B} \rightarrow 5 \quad: 11=16 \end{array}\right]\\ \end{array}$Equal quantity are mixed
$\begin{array}{l}\text{ Alloy }\mathrm{A}\rightarrow10:6=16\\ \text{ Alloy }\mathrm{B}\rightarrow5\quad:11=16\\ \text{ Alloy }\mathrm{C}\rightarrow\mathbf{15}:\mathbf{17}\end{array}$
