      Question

      A 200-litre mixture of milk and

      water is currently in the ratio 3:5. To reduce the percentage of milk in the mixture to 25%, how much additional water must be added?
      A 80 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 45 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 95 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 100 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Present (original) quantity of milk in the mixture = 200 × (3/8) = 75 litres So, new quantity of mixture = 75 ÷ 0.25 = 300 litres So, quantity of water to be added = 300 - 200 = 100 litres
