      Question

      120 litres mixture (milk + water) contains 36 litres water.

      Find the quantity of mixture that must be removed so that quantity of milk becomes 42 litres in the mixture.
      A 60 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 55 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 65 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 50 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 70 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Initial quantity of milk = 120 - 36 = 84 litres
      Ratio of quantity of milk and water respectively = 84:36 = 7:3
      Let the required quantity of mixture be 'y' litres.
      So, 84 - (7y/10) = 42
      Or, (7y/10) = 42
      Or, 'y' = 60
