      Question

      720 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in the ratio

      5:4. If `x` ml of milk and `(x - 40)` ml of water are added, the new ratio becomes 7:6. Find the value of `x`.
      A 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 460 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Milk = (5/9) Γ— 720 = 400 ml
      Water = (4/9) Γ— 720 = 320 ml
      (400 + x)/(320 + x - 40) = 7/6
      6(400 + x) = 7(280 + x)
      2400 + 6x = 1960 + 7x
      x = 440
