Question

    A vessel contains 160 litres of milk and water in the ratio of 5:3. If 10 litres of milk is added to the mixture, then find the ratio of milk to water in the final mixture.

    A 9:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 11:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The quantity of milk in the initial mixture = 160 × 5/8 = 100 litres The quantity of water in the initial mixture = 160 - 100 = 60 litres The ratio of milk to water in the final mixture = (100 + 10) : 60 = 110:60 = 11:6
