      Question

      A mixture (milk and water) contains 40% milk and rest

      192 litres water. How much milk should be added to the mixture to make the ratio of milk to water in the mixture 5:6?
      A 26 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 30 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 32 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 23 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 35 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Initial quantity of milk in the mixture = 192 × (0.40/0.60) = 128 litres
      Let the quantity of milk added be ‘x’ litres
      According to the question,
      (128 + x)/192 = 5/6
      => x = 160 – 128
      => x = 32
      Therefore, quantity of milk added = 32 litres
