Solve using weighted averages:
1/3*2/10+3/10*2/5+5/10*1/5 (Taking only Copper ratios multiplied with the ratios combined)
You will get 43/150 which is 43:107
Answer: Option C.
1/3*2/10+3/10*2/5+5/10*1/5 (Taking only Copper ratios multiplied with the ratios combined)
You will get 43/150 which is 43:107
Answer: Option C.

say total is 150
from mixed ratio, A=30 ,B = 45, C=75
In A=30, copper = 10, zinc= 20
In B=45, copper= 18, zinc = 27
In C=75, copper= 15 , zinc= 60
so total copper= 43
total zinc= 107
ratio = 43/107
option C
