Mixture and alligation problem based on ratio type > An alloy contains brass,iron and Zinc in the ratio 2:3:1 and another contains iron,zinc,lead in the ratio 5:4:3,If equal weights of both alloys are melted together to form a 3 alloy. what will be the weight of lead perkg in new alloy? I am unable to proceed this sum because two alloys contains brass and lead are different alloys,How to approach this sum and how to find the answer please guide me anyone

In the first alloy you don't have any lead. In one kg of the third alloy you have 0.5 kg of the first alloy and 0.5 kg of the second alloy. That means that you need to calculate how much lead you have in 0.5 kg of the second alloy. The second alloy is made out of 12 parts (5+4+3), and only three parts out of that is lead
