      A mixture contains 70 litres of milk and the rest water

      such that the ratio of the quantity of milk to that of water in the mixture is 7:3. How many litres of water should be added to the mixture such that milk constitutes 35% of the resultant mixture?
      A 200 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1800 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 120 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 100 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Total quantity of initial mixture = 70 × (10/7) = 100 litres Since the quantity of milk remains unchanged, therefore Total quantity of resultant mixture = (70/0.35) = 200 litres Therefore, the quantity of water added = 200 - 100 = 100 litres
