Question 78

In a mixture of 35 litres the ratio of milk and water is 4 : 1. If one litre of water is added to the mixture the ratio ofmilk and water in the new mixture is

Solution

The amount of milk present in the solution at start = (4/5)*35 = 28 liters
Amount of water present at the start = 35 - 28 = 7 liters
Now, one liter water is added and hence, total water present in solution = 8 liters. 
Hence, ratio of milk and water in the mixture now = 28 : 8 = 7 : 2
