    When 50 litres milk and 30 litres water is added to the mixture, the ratio of milk to water becomes 5 : 4. Find the initial quantity of mixture
    A 180 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 190 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 200 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 210 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 220 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let initial quantity of water be ‘n’ litres. So,
    (100 + 50) : (n + 30) = 5 : 4 Or,
    150 : (n + 30) = 5 : 4 Or,
    n + 30 = 120 Or,
    n = 90 Therefore, required quantity of mixture
    = 100 + 90
    = 190 litres
