    Question

    A dyes is made by mixing red and yellow colors in the ratio of 2 ∶ 5. If the amount of red color in the dye is increased by 25%, what will be the percentage of yellow color in the new dye to be made?

    A.

    75%

    B.

    33.33%

    C.

    66.67%

    D.

    50%

    Correct option is C

    Given
    Initial Ratio Red : Yellow = 2 : 5
    Red increased by 25%

    Solution
    Let initial amount of Red = 200 units, Yellow = 500 units.
    New Red = 200 + 25% \text{ of } 200 = 200 + 50 = 250
    Yellow remains 500.
    Total new weight = 250 + 500 = 750
    Percentage of Yellow = 500750×100\frac{500}{750} \times 100​​
    Percentage = 23×100=66.67%\frac{2}{3} \times 100 = 66.67\%​​

    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (c)
