      A container has 60 liters of a mixture of milk and water

      in the ratio of 3:2. How many liters of water should be added to make the ratio 2:3?
      A 30 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 25 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 35 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Milk = (3/5) Γ— 60 = 36 liters Water = (2/5) Γ— 60 = 24 liters Let x liters of water be added. After adding, new water quantity = 24 + x New ratio = 36 : (24 + x) = 2:3 (36 / (24 + x)) = (2 / 3) Cross-multiply: 108 = 48 + 2x 2x = 60 x = 30 liters Answer: a) 30 liters
