      Question

      A vessel contains 45 litres of a milk-water mixture in

      the ratio 4 : 1. How much water should be added to make the ratio of milk to water 3 : 2?
      A 10 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 18 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 15 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Milk = (4/5) Γ— 45 = 36 litres Water = (1/5) Γ— 45 = 9 litres Let x litres of water be added. Then, 36 / (9 + x) = 3 / 2 72 = 27 + 3x 45 = 3x x = 15 Hence, the correct answer is 15 litres.
