In a Glass there is 520 ml of a mixture composed of
juice and water in a ratio of 17:9. If 'y' ml of juice and 'y + 60' ml of water are added to this mixture, the resulting ratio of juice to water in the final mixture becomes 4:3. Calculate the value of 'y'.Solution
ATQ, Quantity of juice in 520 ml of mixture = [(17/26)] × 520 = 340 ml Quantity of water in 520 ml of mixture = (520 – 340) = 180 ml ATQ; (340 + y)/(180 + y + 60) = 4/3 Or, 1020 + 3y = 4y + 960 Or, y = 60
