Question

Ramesh bought a total of 6 fruits (apples and oranges) from the market. He found that he required one orange less to extract the same quantity of juice as extracted from apples. If Ramesh had used the same number of apples and oranges to make the blend, then which of the following correctly represents the percentage of apple juice in the blend?

Accepted Answer

E. Let total fruits = 6. If apples = 3 and oranges = 3, requirement gives 3 apples = 2 oranges worth of juice. Ratio of juice per apple to orange = $2 : 3$. If equal number of apples and oranges are used, ratio of apple juice to orange juice is $2 : 3$. Percentage of apple juice = $\frac{2}{2+3} 	imes 100 = 40\%$. Since 40% is not in the options, the answer is None of the above.
