Let the quantity of the water in the medicine be 9x

So, quantity of the chemical in the medicine = 9x × (1 + 1/9) = 10x

Ratio of chemical to water in the medicine = 10x? 9x = 10 ? 9

Let the quantity of the liquid B in the chemical be 9y

So, quantity of the liquid A in the chemical = 9y × 8/9 = 8y

Ratio of liquid A to liquid B in the chemical = 8y? 9y = 8 ? 9

Ratio of chemical to water = 170 ? 153

Ratio of liquid A to liquid B = 80 ? 90

∴ ratio of liquid A, liquid B and water in the medicine = 80 ? 90 ? 153
