    Question

    96 litres mixture of milk and water is mixed in an empty

    container in the ratio 5:3, respectively. If 24 litres of mixture is replaced with 24 litres of water then what will the ratio of milk to water in the resultant mixture?
    A 15:17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10:11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21:23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initially, amount of milk = (5/8) × 96 = 60 litres Amount of water = (3/8) × 96 = 36 litres 24 litres of mixture is replaced. Amount of milk replaced = 24 x (5/8) = 15 Amount of water replaced = 24 x (3/8) = 9 So, required ratio = (60 – 15):(36 – 9 + 24) = 45:51 = 15:17
