      Question

      A jar contains milk and water in the ratio 6:5. After 22

      litres of water is added, the new ratio becomes 6:7. Calculate the final amount of the mixture.
      A 143 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 165 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 190 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 150 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Milk : Water = 6:5 → Total = 11 parts

      Let total = 11x

      → Milk = 6x, Water = 5x

      Water after adding = 5x + 22

      New ratio = 6x : (5x + 22) = 6 : 7

      Image

      Original = 11 × 11 = 121 litres

      Final = 121 + 22 = 143 litres
