Answer 1

The taste of a mixture of salt and sugar depends on the ratio of salt to sugar, and none of the given mixtures will taste exactly the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a mixture of salt and sugar, it is possible for the mixture to taste salty, sweet, or both, depending on the ratio of salt to sugar.

However, none of the given mixtures A, B, and C will taste exactly the same.

Mixture A has a higher concentration of salt compared to sugar, so it will taste more salty than sweet.

Mixture B has a slightly lower concentration of both salt and sugar compared to Mixture A, so it will taste less salty and less sweet.

Mixture C has even lower concentrations of both salt and sugar, resulting in a less intense taste overall.
