Answer» The ration of MILK and water in Jar-A = 5 ? 1 Let the QUANTITY of milk and water in Jar-A be 5x and 1x The difference between the quantity of milk and water in Jar-A = 32 ⇒ 5x - x = 32 ⇒ 4x = 32 ⇒ x = 8 The quantity of milk = 5x = 5 × 8 = 40 The quantity of water = 1x = 8 Now, If 12 LITERS of the mixture was taken out and 1.5 liters of water was ADDED to Jar-A, we get $4 : 1$ |
