    Question

    A mixture contains (x+10) L of milk and 60 L of water.

    If 5 L milk and 10 L water are added to this mixture, the ratio of milk to water becomes 3:2. Find x% of the initial water.
    A 24 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 31 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 54 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, So, we can say, (x+10+5)/(60+10) = 3/2 Or, (x+15)/70 = 3/2 Or, 2(x+15) = 210 Or, 2x + 30 = 210 Or, 2x = 180 → x = 90 Required value = 60×90/100 = 54 L
