The quantity of water that must be added to 36 litres of milk at 2122\frac{1}{2} litres for ₹ 120 so as to have mixture worth ₹ 36 for a litre is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Cost per litre of milk =1202.5=₹48= \frac{120}{2.5} = ₹48.

Let water added =W= W litres. Cost of mixture: 36×4836+W=36\frac{36 \times 48}{36 + W} = 36.

1728=36(36+W)⇒W=121728 = 36(36+W) \Rightarrow W = 12 litres.
