Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Quantity A < Quantity B Quantity A: Let the initial quantity of milk be x litres ∴ Initial quantity of water = (100 – x) litres Given, 80% of x + 20% of (100 – x) = 50% of 100 ⇒ 80x + 2000 – 20x = 5000 ⇒ 60x = 3000 ⇒ x = 50 litres ∴ Initial quantity of milk = x = 50 litres Quantity B: 60 litres ∴ Quantity A < Quantity B |
