    Question

    Two mixtures (milk and water) 'A' and 'B' contains

    quantities of milk and water in ratio of 6:4 and 2:8, respectively. If 50 ml from 'A' and 40 ml from 'B' are mixed to form a new mixture, then find the percentage of milk in the new mixture.
    A 38% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 42% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 46% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 49% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 52% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of milk in 50 ml of mixture 'A' = 50 × (6/10) = 30 ml
    Quantity of milk in 40 ml of mixture 'B' = 40 × (2/10) = 8 ml
    Total quantity of final mixture = (50 + 40) = 90 ml
    Required percentage = ((30 + 8) ÷ 90) × 100 = 38/90 × 100 = 42.22% ≈ 42%
