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
