    Water) is 80 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 55% of the whole mixture.
    A 60 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 80 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of water in the mixture = {(360 - 80)/2} = 140 litres

    So, quantity of milk in the mixture = (360 - 140) = 220 litres

    Total quantity of the mixture if quantity of milk in the mixture becomes 55% = 220 × (100/55) = 400

    So, quantity of water needs to be mixed = (400 - 360) = 40 litres
