      A container contains milk and water in the ratio 2:1. 30

      litres of mixture is removed and 15 litres of water is added so that the quantity of milk is 5 litres more than water. Find the initial quantity of the mixture.
      A 120 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 180 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 90 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 147 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Milk after removal = 2x – 30 × 2/3 = 2x – 20 litres
      Water after removal = 1x – 30 × 1/3 = x – 10 litres
      Water after adding = x – 10 + 15 = x + 5 litres
      ATQ:
      2x – 20 = (x + 5) + 5
      2x – 20 = x + 10
      x = 30
      Initial quantity = 3x = 90 litres
