Question

    A vessel contains 200 litres of milk and water in the

    ratio of 5:3. If 10 litres of milk is added to the mixture, then find the ratio of milk to water in the final mixture.
    A 9:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 11:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 8:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The quantity of milk in the initial mixture = 200 × 5/8 = 125 litres The quantity of water in the initial mixture = 200 - 125 = 75 litres The ratio of milk to water in the final mixture = (125 + 10) : 75 = 135:75 = 9:5
