A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio of 5 : 3. When some more milk is added to it, the ratio of milk to water in the resulting mixture becomes 2 : 1. If the initial Quantity of mixture was 800 liters, then find the quantity of the final mixture (in liters).1). 860 liters2). 900 liters3). 1000 liters4). 1050 liters

Answer»

LET the quantity of additional milk is x liters

In the mixture of 800 liters

Quantity of milk = (5/8) × 800 = 500 liters

So the quantity of water is = 300 liters

According to the QUESTION,

⇒ (500 + x)/300 = 2/1

⇒ 500 + x = 600

⇒ x = 600 – 500 = 100 liters

So, the new quantity of the mixture is 800 + 100 = 900 liters

∴ The final quantity of the mixture is 900 liters
