    Quantity of honey is 55% more than that of water in 204

    litres mixture (honey + water). If 24 litres honey is added, then find the quantity of honey in the resultant mixture now
    A 165 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 148 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 175 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 155 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Let the initial quantity of water be 'y' litres.

    Initial quantity of honey = '1.55y' litres

    So, y + 1.55y = 204

    Or, 2.55y = 204

    Or, 'y' = 80

    Initial quantity of honey = 1.55 X 80 = 124 litres

    Therefore, final quantity of honey = 124 + 24 = 148 litres
