    Question

    Mixture 'A' contains 25% water and rest milk which is

    equal to 40% of quantity of water in mixture 'B' (milk + water). Ratio of quantity of milk in mixture 'A' and mixture 'B' is 2:3, respectively. If difference between total quantity of mixture 'A' and mixture 'B' is 144 litres, then find the difference between quantities of water in given two mixtures.
    A 108 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 84 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 96 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 117 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 132 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let quantity of water in mixture 'B' be '5x' litres Quantity of milk in mixture 'A' = 0.4 Γ— 5x = '2x' litres Total quantity of mixture 'A' = (2x/0.75) = (8x/3) litres Quantity of water in mixture 'A' = (8x/3 βˆ’ 2x) = (2x/3) litres Quantity of milk in mixture 'B' = (2x Γ— 3/2) = '3x' litres Total quantity of mixture 'B' = (5x + 3x) = 8x According to the question, (8x βˆ’ 8x/3 = 144) Or, (24x/3 βˆ’ 8x/3 = 144) (16x/3 = 144) Or, x = 27 Required difference (5x βˆ’ 2x/3) = 15x/3 βˆ’ 2x/3 = 13x/3 = 13 Γ— 27 / 3 = 117 litres
