    Question


    A vessel contains mixture of milk and water. The quantity of milk is 6 liters more than water in the vessel and the ratio of milk to water in the vessel is 3 : 2. If 50% mixture is taken out from the vessel, then find the quantity of milk remaining in the final mixture.

    A.

    9

    B.

    12

    C.

    6

    D.

    7.5

    E.

    3

    Correct option is A

    Given :

    Quantity of milk is 6 liters more than water in the vessel

    The ratio of milk to water in the vessel is 3 : 2

    Formula Used:

    initial quantity of A±Removed/added quantity of the Ainitial quantity of B±Removed/added quantity of the B=Final quantity of AFinal quantity of B\frac{\text{initial quantity of A} ± \text{Removed/added quantity of the A} }{\text{initial quantity of B}± \text{Removed/added quantity of the B}} = \frac{\text{Final quantity of A}}{\text{Final quantity of B}}

    Explanation:
    Let quantity of water in the vessel initially = x liters
    So, quantity of milk in the vessel initially = x + 6 liters
    ATQ –

    x+6x=3212=x\frac{x+6}{x}=\frac{3}{2} \\12 = x

    So, quantity of milk in the vessel initially = 12 + 6 = 18 liters
    Required milk remaining in the final mixture = 18 - (12+18)×50100×35=189=9 liters\times \frac{50}{100} \times \frac{3}{5} = 18 - 9 = 9 \ liters​​
