    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, After removing 'M' litres of mixture, let quantity of milk and water left be 6x litres and 4x litres, respectively. According to the question, 6x - 4x = 50 Or, 2x = 50 Or, 'x' = 50 / 2 = 25 Therefore, after removal of 'M' litres of mixture, quantity of mixture left = 6x + 4x = 10x = 10 × 25 = 250 litres Therefore, 'M' = 300 - 250 = 50
