In a barrel of 56 litres, the volume of milk is 62.5%. If the mixture requires to make 85.71% of milk, how much more amount of pure milk is needed to be added?1). 91 litres2). 88 litres3). 90 litres4). 85 litres

Answer»

Total volume of mixture = 56 LITRES

Amount of milk in mixture = 62.5% of total volume = (5/8) × 56 = 35 litres

Let x litres of pure milk is added in the mixture.

To CHANGE the proportion of mixture,

Required amount of milk = 85.71% of total volume = (6/7) × (56 + x)

⇒ 35 + x = (6/7) × (56 + x)

⇒ 35 + x = 48 + 6x/7

⇒ x/7 = 13

⇒ x = 91 litres

∴ Amount of milk required = 91 litres
