  • Question
  • In a pot, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk, the pot would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6 : 5. Find the capacity of the pot ?


  • Options
  • A. 11 lit
  • B. 22 lit
  • C. 33 lit
  • D. 44 lit

  • Correct Answer
  • 22 lit 

    Explanation

    Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.
    Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)
    After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.
    6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)
    10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44.

    The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.
