A jar contains a blend of fruit juice and water in the ratio 15 : x. When 4 liters of water is added to 16 liters of the blend the ratio of fruit juice to water becomes 1 : 1. What is the value of x?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
ATQ,
Juice : Water
⇒ 15 : x = 16 ltr ...............(i)
⇒ 1 : 1 = (after adding 4 ltr water it becomes 20 Ltr)
Therefore,
Juice Water
⇒ 10 10 = 20 ltr.
*Here, only water is added, hence juice qty. remains same.*
So, in eq. (i)
Qty of juice = 10 ltr and
Qty of water = 6 ltr.
Here, from eq. (i)
Ratio of 10 ltr juice = 15
Ratio of 1 ltr juice = 1.5
Ratio of 6 ltr juice = 6 × 1.5 = 9 ltr
