(a) When substances are mixed in equal volume then density $ = \frac{{{\rho _1} + {\rho _2}}}{2} = 4$ ==>${\rho _1} + {\rho _2} = 8$ .......$(i)$

When substances are mixed in equal masses then density $ = \frac{{2{\rho _1}{\rho _2}}}{{{\rho _1} + {\rho _2}}} = 3$

==> $2{\rho _1}{\rho _2} = 3({\rho _1} + {\rho _2})$ .......$(ii)$

By solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$ we get ${\rho _1} = 6$ and ${\rho _2} = 2$.
