Question
In container P, there is 60 litres of milk and in
container Q there is 40 litres of water. 40% of milk and 50% of water is taken out from the respective containers and are mixed in container R. How much water should be added to container R such that the ratio of milk to water becomes 3:5? MTSolution
Quantity of milk in container R = 0.40 × 60 = 24 litres Quantity of water in container R = 0.50 × 40 = 20 litres Let x litres of water is added to the container R. According to the question, 24/(20 + x) = 3/5 Or, 120 = 60 + 3x Or, 3x = 60 Or, x = 20 Therefore, water added to container R = 20 litres
