Solution:
CP of mixture = 100/150 * 111 = Rs 74 Option D
Let x l of milk to be mixed. So by method Solution:

t.c
………….74 Suppose the capacities are 20, 30 and 10
10……………………..14 So A in final mixture is 2/5 * 20 + 1/5 * 30
So ratio is 10 : 14 = 5 : 7
So x/35 = 5/7
x = 25 l
ke + 3/10 * 10 = 17
And B in final mixture is (20+30+10) – 17
= 43

So final ratio = 17 : 43

Option C
Solution: View Answer
In 60 l of mixture, milk = 3/5 * 60 = 36 l,
so water = 24 l Option C
Let x litres of mixture is replaced Solution:
So Let x litres is total capacity of container
Remaining Milk after replacement is = 36 – Using formula, amount of water left = x [1
(3/5)*x + x = 36 + 2x/5 – 12/x]<sup>2</sup>
So (36 + 2x/5)/60 = 7/10 [1 – 12/x]<sup>2</sup>/x = 25/(25+11)
Solve, x = 15 l Solving we get, x = 72 l

View Answer
om
second and y = amount of water before
So milk from first = (75/100)*x, milk from replacement, so y = 9
second = (80/100)*2x Now
t.c
So milk in resultant mixture is (75x/100) + x/y = [1 – 10/30]2
(160x/100) = 2.35x Solve, x = 4 l
Total mixture in third is x+2x = 3x
So % of milk is (2.35x/3x)*100 ke Now since mixture is 30 l only after
replacement also. So milk in mixture after
replacement = 30 – 4 = 26 l
ar
So final ratio = 26 : 4 = 13 : 2

Option A
Solution:
In resultant mixture, water is 3/8 * 100 =
75/2%
So by method of allegation:
25%……………………………50%
………………..75/2%
25/2%……………………….25/2%
so ratio is 25/2 : 25/2 = 1 : 1
And the total should be 12 l, so 6 l of
mixture from A, and 6 l from B.
