      Question

      Quantity of milk is 10% more than that of water in 210

      litres mixture. On adding (n - 5) litres water and (n + 5) litres milk, the new ratio becomes 11:10. Find the value of 'n'.
      A 95 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 105 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 110 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 115 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let water = a, milk = 1.1a
      β‡’ 2.1a = 210 β‡’ a = 100, Water = 100, Milk = 110
      Now, (110 + n + 5):(100 + n - 5) = 11:10
      β‡’ (115 + n):(95 + n) = 11:10
      β‡’ 10(115 + n) = 11(95 + n)
      β‡’ 1150 + 10n = 1045 + 11n
      β‡’ n = 105
