    Question

    161 litres mixture of milk and water is mixed in an

    empty container in the ratio 5:2, respectively. If 14 litres of mixture is replaced with 14 litres of water then what will the ratio of milk to water in the resultant mixture?
    A 15:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 35:34 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 25:21 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11:13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initially, amount of milk = (5/7) × 161 = 115 litres Amount of water = (2/7) × 161 = 46 litres 14 litres of mixture is replaced. Amount of milk replaced = 14 x (5/7) = 10 Amount of water replaced = 14 x (2/7) = 4 So, required ratio = (115 – 10):(46 – 4 + 14) = 105:56 = 15:8
