  • Question
  • 640 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in ratio 6:2. How much of the water is to be added to get a new mixture containing half milk and half water?


  • Options
  • A. 310 ml
  • B. 320 ml
  • C. 330 ml
  • D. 340 ml

  • Correct Answer
  • 320 ml 

    Explanation

    Let us assume the ratio product is Q.
    According to question,
    Quantity of Milk in mixture = 6Q ml
    Quantity of Water in mixture = 2Q ml
    Quantity of Milk in mixture + Quantity of Water in mixture = 640
    6Q + 2Q = 640
    8Q = 640
    Q = 640/8
    Q = 80
    Quantity of Milk in mixture = 6Q ml = 6 x 80 = 480 ml
    Quantity of Water in mixture = 2Q ml = 2 x 80 = 160 ml
    To find the new mixture containing half milk and half water,
    Quantity of water to be added for making the mixture of equal quantity of milk and water = 480 - 160 = 320
