Question
A mixture (alcohol and water) contains 30% alcohol and
rest 140 litres water. How much alcohol should be added to the mixture to make the ratio of alcohol to water in the mixture 5:4?Solution
Initial quantity of alcohol in the mixture = 30 × (0.30/0.70) = 60 litres
Let the quantity of alcohol added be ‘x’ litres
According to the question,
(60 + x)/140 = 5/4
=> x = 175– 60
=> x = 115
Therefore, quantity of alcohol added = 115 litres
