    A container contains (x + 80) litres of milk and x liters of alcohol. If 50 litres of milk and x litres of alcohol is added in the container, then the quantity of milk and alcohol becomes equal. Find the quantity of alcohol left in the container?

    C 380 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 500 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The ratio of the quantity of milk to alcohol in the resultant mixture = 1:1 According to the question, => (x + 80 + 50)/(x + x) = 1/1 => x + 130 = 2x => x = 130 The quantity of alcohol left in the container = 130 + 130 = 260 litres
