A mixture of milk and water measures 60 litres. It contains 10% water. How much water should be added to it, so that the water may be 25%? |
18 litres 14 litres 16 litres 12 litres |
12 litres |
Total quantity of mixture = 60 litres, ⇒ 10 % is water and rest is milk, therefore, ⇒ Milk = 54 and Water = 6 ltr, ⇒ Amount of water to be added to make it 25%, Mil and water should be in ratio, 3 : 1, ⇒ 3x = 54, ⇒ x =18, So, water required to make it 25% is 18 - 6 = 12 litres. |
