      When 30 litres milk and 18 litres water is added to the mixture, the ratio of milk to water becomes 5 : 3. Find the initial quantity of mixture.
      A 96 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 102 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 108 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 120 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 90 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let initial quantity of water be ‘n’ litres. So, (60 + 30) : (n + 18) = 5 : 3 Or, 90 : (n + 18) = 5 : 3 Or, n + 18 = 54 Or, n = 36 Therefore, required quantity of mixture = 60 + 36 = 96 litres
