A milk man sells the milk at the cost price but he mixes the water in it and thus he gains 9.09%. The quantity of water in the mixture of 1 liter is :

83.33 ml
90.90 ml
99.09 ml
can't be determined

Correct Answer: 83.33 ml

Profit (%) = 9.09 % = 1/11

Since the ratio of water and milk is 1 : 11,

Therefore the ratio of water is to mixture = 1:12

Thus the quantity of water in mixture of 1 liter = 1000 x (1/12) = 83.33 ml
