Question
A mixture contains 60 ml water and rest ‘x’ ml milk.
When 0.4x ml of water is added, the water becomes 1/3rd of the mixture. Find the value of ‘x’.Solution
According to the question,
Quantity of water after addition of 0.4x ml water = (60 + 0.4x)
Total quantity of the mixture = 60 + 0.4x + x = (60 + 1.4x)
Therefore,
(1/3)(60 + 1.4x) = (60 + 0.4x)
Or, 60 + 1.4x = 180 + 1.2x
Or, 0.2x = 120
Or, x = 600
