    Quantity of milk is 66% more than that of water in 266

    litres mixture (milk + water). If 34 litres milk is added, then find the quantity of milk in the resultant mixture now.
    A 198 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 196 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 200 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 202 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 204 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the initial quantity of water be 'y' litres.
    Initial quantity of milk = '1.66y' litres
    So, y + 1.66y = 266
    Or, 2.66y = 266
    Or, 'y' = 100 litres
    Initial quantity of milk = 1.66 × 100 = 166 litres
    Therefore, final quantity of milk = 166 + 34 = 200 litres
