    A container contains 220 lit of pure milk and P liters

    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 : 4. Then find the value of P + Q.
    A 196 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 176 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 195 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 193 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (220 + P)/4P = 3/4
    220 + P = 3P
    P = 110 liters
    And, (110 + Q)/(330 + Q) = 4/9
    990 + 9Q = 1320 + 4Q
    5Q = 330
    Q = 66 liters
    Required sum = 176 liters
