In a 48 ltr mixture, the ratio of milk and water is 5:3. How much water should be added in the mixture so as the ratio will become 3:5?

Correct Answer: 80%

Explanation:

Water in 60 gm mixture=60 x 75/100 = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm.

 

After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm.

 

So % of water = 100 x 60/75 = 80%.

Correct Answer: 50 l

Explanation:

Let the tin contain 5x litres of liquids

5 x - 45 x 4 5 5 x - 45 x 1 5 + 45 = 2 5

=> 5(4x - 36) = 2(x + 36)

=> 20x - 180 = 2x + 72

=> x = 14 litres

Hence, the initial quantity of mixture = 70l

Quantity of liquid B

=  70 - 45 x 1 5 + 45

= 50 litres.

Correct Answer: 120 litres

Explanation:

w i n e ( l e f t ) w i n e ( a d d e d ) = 343 169

 

It means  w i n e ( l e f t ) w i n e ( i n i t i a l a m o u n t ) = 343 512    (since 343 + 169 = 512)

  

Thus,   343 x = 512 x 1 - 15 k 3

 

  343 512 = 7 8 3 = 1 - 15 k 3

 

  1 - 15 k = 7 8 = 1 - 1 8

  

Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.

Correct Answer: 120 liters

Explanation:

W i n e ( l e f t ) W a t e r ( a d d e d ) = 343 169

 

It means    W i n e ( l e f t ) W i n e ( i n i t i a l a m o u n t ) = 343 512   ? 343 + 169 = 512

 

Thus ,       

343 x = 512 x 1 - 15 K 3

 

  ? 343 512 = 7 8 3 = 1 - 15 k 3

 

=> K = 120

Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.

Correct Answer: 80 lit

Explanation:

From the given data,

let the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x

Then,

$$\begin{gathered} 2 x - 16 3 x - 24 + 40 = 1 4 \\ 8 x - 64 = 3 x + 16 \\ 5 x = 80 \\ x = 16 lit \end{gathered}$$

 

Then the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x = 5 x 16 = 80 lit.

Correct Answer: 1.25 kg

Explanation:

Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was K, then 

  512 = K 1 - 1 5 4     ? 20 % = 20 100 = 1 5

        or      

512 = K 4 5 4

Therefore, K = 1250

Hence initially the honey in the jar= 1.25 kg

Correct Answer: 1 : 10

Explanation:

Customer ratio of Milk and Water is given by

Milk          ::        Water

  6.4                         0

          8 1 + 3 8 = 64 11

  64 11                       64 10 - 64 11

=> Milk : Water = 110 : 11 = 10 : 1

 

Therefore, the proportionate of Water to Milk for Customer is 1 : 10

Correct Answer: 33.33%

Explanation:

Now, take percentage of milk and applying mixture rule

25          100

       50

50            25  = 2 : 1

 

Hence required answer =  1/3 or 33.33%

Correct Answer: 49 : 221

Explanation:

Copper in 4 kg = 4/5 kg          and      Zinc in 4 kg = 4 x (4/5) kg

 

Copper in 5 kg = 5/6 kg          and      Zinc in 5 kg = 5 x (5/6) kg

 

Therefore, Copper in mixture =  4 5 + 5 6 = 49 30 kg

 

and  Zinc in the mixture = 16 5 + 25 6 = 221 30kg

 

Therefore the required ratio = 49 : 221

Correct Answer: 29.63 litres

Explanation:

Given that container has 50 litres of milk.

 After replacing 8 litres of milk with water for three times, milk contained in the container is:

  ? 50 1 - 8 50 3

? 50 × 42 50 × 42 50 × 42 50  = 29.63 litres.
