      Question

      Quantity of milk is 20% more than that of water in 220

      litres mixture (milk + water). If 22 litres milk is added, then find the quantity of milk in the resultant mixture now.
      A 140 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 142 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 144 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 138 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 136 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the initial quantity of water be 'y' litres.
      Initial quantity of milk = '1.20y' litres
      So, y + 1.20y = 220
      Or, 2.20y = 220
      Or, 'y' = 100 litres
      Initial quantity of milk = 1.20 × 100 = 120 litres
      Therefore, final quantity of milk = 120 + 22 = 142 litres
