ExplanationRatio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added. - 1. The average age of 6 members of a family is 20 years. If the age of the servant is included, then the average age increase by 25%. What is the age (in years) of the servant?

Correct Answer: 55
Explanation:
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
Correct Answer: 60 Litres
Explanation:
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
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.
Correct Answer: 208
Explanation:
Ratio of milk andwater = 4:1
Quantity of water = 35/5 = 7 litres
Quantity of milk = 35 X 4/5 = 28 litres
If 7 litre of water is added, new quantity of water = 14 litre
New ratio of milk and water = 28:14 = 2:1
Correct Answer: 2:1
Explanation:
Ratio of milk andwater = 4:1
Quantity of water = 35/5 = 7 litres
Quantity of milk = 35 X 4/5 = 28 litres
If 7 litre of water is added, new quantity of water = 14 litre
New ratio of milk and water = 28:14 = 2:1
Correct Answer: 1 : 3
Explanation:
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
Correct Answer: 7 : 1
Explanation:
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
Correct Answer: 9 litres
Explanation:
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre

Correct Answer: 5 lit
Explanation:
Jar A has 36 litres of mixture of milk and water in the respective ratio of 5 : 4 => Quantity of milk in Jar A = 5/9 x 36 = 20 litres Quantity of water in Jar A = 36 - 20 = 16 litres Let quantity of water in Jar B = x litres => Quantity of milk in Jar B = (20 - x) litres Acc. to ques, =>[20 + (20-x)]/(16+x) = 5/3 => 120?3x = 80+5x => 5x +3x = 120?80 => 8x = 40 => 5 litres.
Correct Answer: 82 km/hr
Explanation:
Let the speed of the second train be x km/hr.
| Relative speed | = (x + 50) km/hr | |||||||
|
||||||||
|
Distance covered = (108 + 112) = 220 m.
| ∴ | 220 | = 6 | ||
|
⟹ 250 + 5x = 660
⟹ x = 82 km/hr.
