Question
360 litres of mixture contains milk and water in the
ratio 5:4. If 40 litres of milk and 20 litres of water are added, then the ratio of milk to water in the final mixture becomes x:3. Find x.Solution
ATQ, The initial quantity of milk in the mixture = 360 * 5/9 = 200 litres The initial quantity of water in the mixture = 360 * 4/9 = 160 litres (200 + 40)/(160 + 20) = x/3 240/180 = x/3 4/3 = x/3 x = 4
