      Question

      A mixture of milk and water contains (x + 25) litres of

      milk, which is (x + 55) litres less than the quantity of water. If the total quantity of water in the mixture is 105 litres, find the ratio of milk to water.
      A 7:19 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 5:11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 5:14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 3:12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Quantity of water in the mixture = x + 25 + x + 55 = (2x + 80) litres

      Therefore, 2x + 80 = 105

      Or, 2x = 25

      Or, x = 12.5

      Therefore, quantity of milk in the mixture = x + 25 = 37.5 litres

      Required ratio = 37.5 : 105 = 5 : 14
