A vessel contains a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 3:2 respectively. If 20 liters of the mixture is removed and 4 liters of milk is added, the ratio of milk to water becomes 13:8 respectively. Find the initial quantity of the mixture (in liters).
Information Given:
A vessel contains a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 3:2 respectively.
20 liters of the mixture is removed.
4 liters of milk is added.
The ratio of milk to water becomes 13:8 respectively.
Basic Explanation:
Let the milk and water be 3a and 2a liters respectively
ATQ,
24a - 64 = 26a - 104
40 = 2a
20 = a
Initial quantity of the mixture = 5a = 100 liters

A vessel contains a solution of acid and water in the ratio 5 : 7. When 9 litres of the solution are taken out and the vessel is filled with equal quantity of acid, the ratio of acid and water in the vessel becomes 9 : 7. How many litres of solution was there in the vessel, initially?
From a cask filled with 867 litres of wine, y litres are first drawn and replaced with water. After the first replacement the ratio of wine and water in the cask, when expressed in the lowest form, is given as a : b. From this mixture y litres are drawn and replaced with water. The ratio of wine to water in the cask after the second replacement, when expressed in the lowest form, is given as 169 : 120. Find the value of (y + a + b).
