Question
Quantity of water in a 330 litres mixture (Milk +
Water) is 30 litres less than the quantity of milk in it. Find the quantity of water to be mixed so that the quantity of milk in the mixture becomes 45% of the whole mixture.Solution
Quantity of water in the mixture = {(330 - 30)/2} = 150 litres
So, quantity of milk in the mixture = (330 - 150) = 180 litres
Total quantity of the mixture if quantity of milk in the mixture becomes 45% = 180 × (100/45) = 400
So, quantity of water needs to be mixed = (400 - 330) = 70 litres
