    of water. Ratio of 25% of mixture to the initial quantity of water is 3 : 4 and when Q liters of water is added to it ratio of total mixture to water becomes 9 : 5. Then find the value of P + Q.
    A 222 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (200 + P)/4P = 3/4
    800 + 4P = 12P
    P = 100 liters
    And, (100 + Q)/(300 + Q) = 5/9
    900 + 9Q = 1500 + 5Q
    4Q = 600
    Q = 150 liters
    Required sum = 250
