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
