Quantity of milk in the mixture after taking out 4 liters of the mixture = ( 16 x 5 / 8 ) = 10 liters.
Now we add 4 liters of milk in this mixture.
quantity of milk in 20 liters of new mix = ( 10 + 4 ) = 14 liters.
quantity of water in it ( 20 – 14 ) = 6 liters.
Ratio of milk and water in the new ratio mix is = 14 : 6 = 7 : 3.

Example #6

In a bottle mixture of 80 liters and the ratio of milk and water is 3 : 2. If this mixture ratio is to be 2 : 3. What is the quantity of water to be further added?

  1. 30 Liters
  2. 36 Liters
  3. 40 Liters
  4. 42 Liters

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve
Quantity of Milk ( 80 x 3 / 5 ) = 48 liters.
So, quantity of Water in it ( 80 – 48 ) = 32 liters.

New Ratio required 2 : 3.
Let, X water to be added
Now, Milk : Water is = 48 : (32 + X)
= 48 / (32 + X)

Now, 48 / (32 + X) = 2 : 3
48 / (32 + X) = 2 / 3
2X = 144 – 64
X = 80 / 2
= 40 liters.

Example #7

The ratio between the number of Men and Women in a society is 31 : 23. When 75 more women are added in the society, this ratio becomes 124 : 107. How many more women should be added in the society in order to make the number of men and women be equal?

  1. 82
  2. 85
  3. 88
  4. 95

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
31x / 23x + 75 = 124 / 107
3317x = 2852x + 9300
465x = 9300
x = 20 .

So, the number of women in society after added
= 20 x 23 + 75 = 535.

So, the number of men in society after added
= 31 x 20 = 620.

Number of more women is = 620 – 535 = 85.

Example #8

In a liquid mixture of 60 liters, the ratio of milk and water is 2 : 1. If this ratio is to be 1 : 2, then the quantity of water to be further added is?

  1. 50 Liters
  2. 60 Liters
  3. 62 Liters
  4. 69 Liters

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
So, Quantity of milk = ( 60 x 2 / 3 ) = 40 liters.
Water in it = ( 60 – 40 ) = 20 liters.

New ratio required = 1 : 2
Let, quantity of water to be added further be X liters.
Milk : Water = 40 / ( 20 + x )
Now,
40 / ( 20 + x ) = 1 / 2
20 + x = 80
x = 60 liters

So, 60 liters of water to be added further.

Example #9

20% alcohol present in a 15 liters mixture and rest of water. If 3 liters of water be mixed with it, the percentage of alcohol in the new mixture would be?

  1. 50/3%
  2. 40/3%
  3. 55/3%
  4. 68/3%

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
20% present in a 15 liters mixture
So, 20 x 15 / 100 = 3 liters of Alcohol.
Water in it ( 15 – 3 ) = 12 liters.

New quantity of mixture = ( 15 + 3 ) = 18 liters.
Percentage of alcohol in new mix is = ( 3 x 100 / 18 ) % = 50 / 3.

Example #10

A liquid mixture contain alcohol and water in the ratio of 4 : 3. If 5 liters of water is added to the mixture the ration becomes 4 : 5. Find the quantities of alcohol in the given mixture?

  1. 7 Liters
  2. 8 Liters
  3. 9 Liters
  4. 10 Liters

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve
Let, the quantity of alcohol and water be 4x and 3x liters.
Then,
4x / 3x + 5 = 4 / 5
20x = 4(3x + 5)
8x = 20
x = 2.5

Quantity of alcohol = ( 4 x 2.5 ) = 10 liters.

  1. 36 Liters
  2. 40 Liters
  3. 42 Liters
  4. 50 Liters

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
Total mixture is 80 liters and ratio is 3 : 2
So, Milk is 80 x 3 / 5 = 240 / 5 = 48 liters.
Water is ( 80 – 48 ) = 32 liters.

48 / ( 32 + x ) = 32
2x = 80
x = 40

Quantity of water to be added more is 40 liters.

  1. 100/3%
  2. 101/3%
  3. 110/3%
  4. 111/3%

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
40% milk means 60% water
So, milk in mixture is = 25 x 40 / 100 = 10 liters.
and water in mixture is ( 25 – 10 ) = 15 liters.

new mixture quantity = ( 25 + 5 ) = 30 liters.
10 x 100 / 30 = 100 / 3 liters.

So, new percentage of milk in mixture is 100 / 3 liters.

      hi just arrange the words horizontally as a:b:c:d

      1. a:b – 2:3
      2. b:c – 4:5
      3. c:d – 6:7

      a b c d
      2 3
      4 5
      6 7
      a = 2*4*6 = 48
      b = 3*4*6 = 72
      c = 3*5*6 = 90
      d = 3 *5*7 = 105
      a:b:c:d = 48:72:90:105 after simplifying = 16;24;30;35

      first b:c and c:d value take it,
      4:5 and 6:7
      then common value of =c to l.c.m
      5&6=30 so convert the value of c
      4*6:5*6and6*5:7*5
      24:30and 30:35,
      so c is common value=30
      so, b:c:d=24:30:35
      then,take it a:b and b:c:d
      2:3 and 24:30:35
      then, common b value 3 and 24 l.c.m in 24,
      so, 2*8:3*8and 24*1:30*1:35*1
      then,16:24 and 24:30:35
      common value of b=24,
      ans,a:b:c:d=16:24:30:35

    Hi,

    Can you please explain the logic if quantity of liquid is replaced instead of added so that the proportion of mixture gets inverse.
