    Question

    Quantity of milk is 33% more than that of water in 233

    litres mixture (milk + water). If 27 litres milk is added, then find the quantity of milk in the resultant mixture now.
    A 160 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 158 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 155 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 165 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the initial quantity of water be 'y' litres.
    Initial quantity of milk = '1.33y' litres
    So, y + 1.33y = 233
    Or, 2.33y = 233
    Or, 'y' = 100 litres
    Initial quantity of milk = 1.33 Ă— 100 = 133 litres
    Therefore, final quantity of milk = 133 + 27 = 160 litres
