    Quantity of milk is 55% more than that of water in 204

    litres mixture (milk + water). If 24 litres milk is added, then find the quantity of milk in the resultant mixture now.
    A 148 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 154 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 150 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 144 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 140 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the initial quantity of water be 'y' litres.
    Initial quantity of milk = '1.55y' litres
    So, y + 1.55y = 204
    Or, 2.55y = 204
    Or, 'y' = 80 litres
    Initial quantity of milk = 1.55 Ă— 80 = 124 litres
    Therefore, final quantity of milk = 124 + 24 = 148 litres
