Equal masses of water and of a second liquid whose density is 2 (in the same units as water's density 1) are mixed. The density of the resulting mixture is

  1. 2/3
  2. 4/3
  3. 3/2
  4. 3

Correct answer: 4/3

Solution

With equal masses, total mass = 2m and total volume = m/d1 + m/d2. Density = total mass / total volume. This gives the result 2*d1*d2/(d1+d2), the harmonic mean of the densities.
