Question

    A vessel contains 360 litres of milk and water in the ratio of 7:5. If 15 litres of milk is added to the mixture, then find the ratio of milk to water in the final mixture.

    A 2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 11:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 8:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The quantity of milk in the initial mixture = 360 × 7/12 = 210 litres The quantity of water in the initial mixture = 360 - 210 = 150 litres The ratio of milk to water in the final mixture = (210 + 15) : 150 = 225:150 = 3:2
