A liquid of volume 2.00 m3 and density 1.00 x 103 is mixed with 3.00 m3 of another liquid of density 8.00 x 103kg m-3. Calculate the density of the mixture [Assuming there is no chemical reaction]

A.

5.20 x 102 kg m-3

B.

1.13 x 103 kg m-3

C.

8.80 x 102 kg m-3

D.

5.20 x 102 kg m-3

Correct answer is D

VT=5m3,m1=2×1×103=2×103

M2=3×8×103=24×103

MT = 26 x 103

D = mv=26×1035=5.2×103
