      A solution contains acid and water in the ratio 2:3. After

      adding 4 litres of acid and 3 litres of water, the ratio becomes 3:4. What was the initial quantity of the mixture?
      A 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 99 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let acid = 2y, water = 3y

      (2y + 4):(3y + 3) = 3:4

      β‡’ 4(2y + 4) = 3(3y + 3)

      β‡’ 8y + 16 = 9y + 9

      β‡’ y = 7

      Initial quantity = 2y + 3y = 5y = 5 Γ— 7 = 35 litres
