Correct answer is: 7 : 5 Explanation: Gold in C = $\left( \frac{7}{9} + \frac{7}{18} \right)$ $= \frac{21}{18} = \frac{7}{6}$ Copper in C =  $\left( \frac{2}{9} + \frac{11}{18} \right)$ $= \frac{15}{18} = \frac{5}{6}$ Gold : Copper = $\frac{7}{6} : \frac{5}{6}$ = 7 : 5 Nithin ? answered undefined All Comments
