    litres of water is added, the ratio becomes 3:4. Find the total quantity of the final solution.
    A 105 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 260 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 360 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 250 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Initial ratio = 3:2 → Total = 5 parts

    Let total = 5x

    → Milk = 3x, Water = 2x

    Water after addition = 2x + 30

    New ratio = 3x : (2x + 30) = 3 : 4

    Initial volume = 5 × 15 = 75 litres

    Final = 75 + 30 = 105 litres
