Question 138

In what proportions must water be added with milk to gain 20% by selling the mixture at cost price ?

Solution

For 100 litres of milk to get 20% profit, we need to sell = $$100+(\frac{20}{100}\times100)=120$$ litres

Thus, water added = $$120-100=20$$ litres

=> Required ratio = $$\frac{20}{100}=1:5$$

=> Ans - (C)
