From the given data, The part of honey in the first mixture = 1/4 The part of honey in the second mixture = 3/4 Let the part of honey in the third mixture = x Then, 1/4 3/4 x (3/4)-x x-(1/4) Given from mixtures 1 & 2 the ratio of mixture taken out is 2 : 3 => 3 4 - x x - 1 4 = 2 3 => Solving we get the part of honey in the third mixture as 11/20 => the remaining part of the mixture is water = 9/20 Hence, the ratio of the mixture of honey and water in the third mixture is 11 : 9 .
