    Liquid 'X' is made up of milk and water in the ratio

    3:2, and liquid 'Y' has milk and water in the ratio 5:4. If 50 ml of 'X' is combined with 36 ml of 'Y', how much milk is there in the resulting mixture?
    A 25 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 14 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 50 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Quantity of milk in 50 ml of 'X' = 50 × (3/5) = 30 ml

    Quantity of milk in 36 ml of 'Y' = 36 × (5/9) = 20 ml

    So, quantity of milk in final mixture = 30 + 20 = 50 ml
