    Question

    A blend of milk and honey consists of 80% milk. When 24

    liters of honey are added to this mixture, the amount of honey in the new mixture becomes 50% less than the amount of milk. Determine the initial quantity of the mixture.
    A 120 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 100 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 115 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 145 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the initial quantity of the mixture be тАШ5xтАЩ litres. Quantity of milk in the initial mixture = (0.80 ├Ч 5x) = тАШ4xтАЩ litres Quantity of honey in the initial mixture = (0.20 ├Ч 5x) = тАШxтАЩ litres ATQ, (x + 24) = 4x ├Ч 0.5 Or, x + 24 = 2x So, x = 24 So, initial quantity of the mixture = тАШ5xтАЩ = 120 litres
