Solid waste generated from an industry contains only two components, X and Y as shown in the table below Component Composition (% weight) Density (kg/m 3 ) X c 1 ρ 1 Y c 2 ρ 2 Assuming (c 1 + c 2 ) = 100, the composite density of the solid waste (ρ) is given by:

Correct Answer is : 100(c1ρ1+c2ρ2)

{100}/{ ( {c_{1}}/{\rho _{1}} + {c_{2}}/{\rho _{2}}) }

100 ( {\rho _{1}}/{c_{1}} + {\rho _{2}}/{c_{2}})

100 (c_{1}\rho _{1} + c_{2}\rho _{2})

100 ( {\rho _{1}\rho _{2}}/{c_{1}\rho _{1} + c_{2}\rho _{2}})
