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

      A 94 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 98 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let water = a
      Milk = 1.2a
      So, a + 1.2a = 2.2a = 220
      β‡’ a = 100
      Water = 100 litres, Milk = 120 litres
      Now, (120 + n + 6):(100 + n - 6) = 7:6
      β‡’ (126 + n):(94 + n) = 7:6
      β‡’ 6(126 + n) = 7(94 + n)
      β‡’ 756 + 6n = 658 + 7n
      β‡’ n = 98
