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?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
