Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 39 : 31

Given:

Ratio of silver and zinc in A = 2 : 3

Ratio of silver and zinc in B = 5 : 2

Calculation:

Silver in A = 2/5

Zinc in A = 3/5

Silver in B = 5/7

Zinc in B = 2/7

Ratio of silver and zinc in the new mixture = (2/5 + 5/7)/(3/5 + 2/7)

⇒ 39/35 : 31/35

New ratio = 39 : 31

∴ Ratio of Silver and Zinc in new alloy = 39 : 31.
