Question:medium
Answer the question based on the following table, which shows the relative sweetness of different sugars (sucrose is taken as 1.00).
Relative Sweetness of Different Sugars Lactose 0.16 Maltose 0.32 Glucose 0.74 Sucrose 1.00 Saccharin 675.00
What is the ratio of glucose to lactose in a mixture as sweet as maltose?
Answer the question based on the following table, which shows the relative sweetness of different sugars (sucrose is taken as 1.00).
What is the ratio of glucose to lactose in a mixture as sweet as maltose?
| Relative Sweetness of Different Sugars | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Lactose | 0.16 | Maltose | 0.32 |
| Glucose | 0.74 | Sucrose | 1.00 |
| Saccharin | 675.00 | ||
Show Hint
Use the alligation rule with maltose's sweetness as the target mean between glucose and lactose.

Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Alligation: lactose/glucose = (0.74-0.32)/(0.32-0.16) = 0.42/0.16 = 21/8. So glucose:lactose=8:21.
Final Answer: 8:21, option (1).
