  • Question
  • A mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4 : 3. If 5 liters of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 4: 5. Find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture.


  • Options
  • A. 10
  • B. 12
  • C. 15
  • D. 18

  • Correct Answer
  • 10 

    Explanation

    Let the quantity of alcohol and water be 4x litres and 3x litres respectively

     

    4x/(3x+5) = 4/5 

     

    20x = 4(3x+5)

     

    8x = 20

     

    x = 2.5

     

    Quantity of alcohol = (4 x 2.5) litres = 10 litres.
