    Question

    A vessel initially contains a mixture of juice and water

    in the ratio of 5:3. From this mixture, 40 ml is removed, and then 25 ml of water and 25 ml of honey are added to the vessel. As a result, the final ratio of juice, water, and honey becomes 5:4:1. Determine the initial quantity of water in the mixture.
    A 90 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 120 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 150 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 210 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 60 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the quantity of juice, water and honey in the final mixture be '5x' ml, '4x' ml, 'x' ml, respectively. So, 'x' = 25 ..........(since, final quantity of honey in the vessel) So, total quantity of the final mixture = 25 X 10 = 250 ml Initial quantity of the mixture = 250 + 40 - 25 - 25 = 240 ml Therefore, initial quantity of water = 240 X (3/8) = 90 ml
