From container A containing 54 liter of mixture of milk and water in ratio of 8 : 1 , 18 liter of the mixture is taken out and poured into container B in which ratio of milk to water is 3 : 1. If difference between total milk and total water in container B is 30 liter then find the quantity of initial mixture in container B.

Correct Answer: 32 Liter

Explanation:

Let initially milk and water in container B is 3x liter and x liter respectively


Now, 3x + (8/9) × 18 – x – (1/9) × 18 = 30


3x + 16 – x – 2 = 30


x = 8


Initial quantity is container B = 8 (3 + 1) = 32 Liter.
