    A juice mixture contains 180 liters of liquid, where the

    amount of juice is 40% more than the amount of water. If 20 liters of juice is added, what will be the new quantity of juice in the resulting mixture?
    A 125 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 155 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 175 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 165 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

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

    Initial quantity of juice = '1.40y' liters

    So, y + 1.40y = 180

    Or, 2.40y = 180

    Or, 'y' = 75 liters

    Initial quantity of juice = 1.40 ├Ч 75 = 105 liters

    Therefore, final quantity of juice = 105 + 20 = 125 liters
