Alloy A contains 40% gold and 60% silver. Alloy B contains 35% gold and 40% silver and 25% copper. Alloys A and B are mixed in the ratio of 1:4 .What is the ratio of gold and silver in the newly formed alloy is?

Assume the weight of alloy a is 100 kg 

Therefore, The weight of alloy B is 400kg

             Gold          silver         copper

    A       40kg          60kg          0kg

    B      140kg         160kg        100kg

  total    180kg          220kg        100kg

Therefore, Ratio of gold and silver in new alloy =  $\frac{180}{500}:\frac{200}{500}$= 36% :44%
