In a mixture of 168 litres, the ratio of milk to water is 7:5. Now, 36 litres of the mixture are taken out from the total and 'X' litres of water and (X-7) litres of milk is added to the remaining mixture. It is confirmed that after this process the ratio of the milk to water in the mixture becomes 6:5. Find the value of X.
Answers & Comments
Answer:
The initial ratio of milk and water = 7x : 5x
When 15 litres of water added
⇒ (7x)/(5x + 15) = 7 : 8
⇒ 56x = 35x + 105
⇒ 21x = 105
⇒ x = 5
Quantity of water in new mixture
⇒ 8 × 5 = 40
∴ The quantity of water in new mixture is 40 litres.
