    milk's quantity exceeds the water's by 37 ml. After 75% of this mixture is removed and 10.75 ml of milk is added, the milk quantity becomes 40% greater than the water quantity in the mixture. Determine the initial quantity of the mixture.
    A 445 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 437 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 337 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 650 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the quantity of water in the initial mixture be '4a' ml So, quantity of milk in the initial mixture = (4a + 37) ml Quantity of water after removing 75% mixture = 4a ├Ч 0.25 = 'a' ml So, quantity of milk after removing 75% mixture = (4a + 37) ├Ч 0.25 = (a + 9.25) ml Quantity of milk after adding 10.75 ml of juice = (a + 9.25 + 10.75) = (a + 20) ATQ. (a + 20) ├╖ a = (140/100) Or, 5 ├Ч (a + 20) = 7a Or, 100 = (7a - 5a) Or, 2a = 100 So, 'a' = 50 Therefore, initial quantity of mixture = (4a + 4a + 37) = (8a + 37) ml = (8 ├Ч 50 + 37) = 437 ml
