A vessel contains 56 litres of mixture of milk and water in the ratio 5:2. How much water should be mixed with it so that the milk to water ratio becomes 4:5

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Milk =57×56=40= \frac{5}{7} \times 56 = 40 L; water =16= 16 L. Let xx L water be added. Then 4016+x=45\frac{40}{16+x} = \frac{4}{5}, giving 200=64+4x200 = 64 + 4x, so x=34x = 34 L.
