    A 78-liter mixture contains milk and water in a ratio of

    6:7. If an additional 24 liters of milk and 48 liters of water are added to the mixture, what will be the new ratio of milk to water in the final mixture?

    C 5:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of milk in initial mixture = 78 × [6/(6 + 7)] = 36 litres Quantity of water in initial mixture = 78 – 36 = 42 litres Ratio of milk to water in the final mixture = (36 + 24):(42 + 48) = 2:3
