The density of the mixture is

                 \mathrm{ \begin{aligned} \rho & =\frac{m_1+m_2}{V_1+V_2} \\\\ & =\frac{\rho_1 V_1+\rho_2 V_2}{V_1+V_2} \end{aligned} }

where\mathrm{ V_1 \, \, and \, \, V_2 } are the volumes of the two substances.

Given \mathrm{ V_1=V_2=V}. Therefore, \mathrm{ \rho=\frac{1}{2}\left(\rho_1+\rho_2\right).}

Hence the correct choice is (a).
