Question

    A container contains 600 lit of pure milk and P liters of water. Ratio of 25% of mixture to the initial quantity of water is 3 : 4 and when Q liters of water is added to it ratio of total mixture to water becomes 9 : 4. Then find the value of P + Q.

    A 246 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 256 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 236 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (600 + P)/4P = 3/4
    600 + P = 3P
    P = 300 liters
    And, (300 + Q)/(900 + Q) = 4/9
    2700 + 9Q = 3600 + 4Q
    Q = 180 liters
    Required sum = 480 liters
