    D 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the initial quantity of milk be ‘x’ litres. Therefore, initial quantity of water = (x + 40) litres. According to the question, (x + 40) = 0.5(x + 100) Solving, (x + 40) = 0.5x + 50 0.5x = 10 x = 20 Therefore, initial quantity of mixture = (x + x + 40) = (20 + 20 + 40) = 80 litres.
