      Question

      A mixture (milk and water) contains 40% milk and rest 90

      litres water. How much milk should be added to the mixture to make the ratio of milk to water in the mixture 8:3?
      A 130 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 115 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 135.5 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 133 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 180 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Initial quantity of milk in the mixture = 90 × (0.40/0.60) = 60 litres
      Let the quantity of milk added be ‘x’ litres
      According to the question,
      (60 + x)/90 = 8/3
      => x = 240– 60
      => x = 180
      Therefore, quantity of milk added = 180 litres
