      Question

      A 50-litre mixture contains milk and water in the ratio

      3:2. How much water should be added to make water 80% of the final mixture?
      A 90 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 100 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 80 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 120 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      80% water means 20% milk.
      Milk = 50 Γ— 3/5 = 30 litres
      New mixture = 30 Γ· 0.2 = 150 litres
      Water in new mixture = 150 – 30 = 120 litres
      Old water = 50 – 30 = 20 litres
      Water to be added = 120 – 20 = 100 litres
