Question



In a mixture, the ratio of milk to water is 4 : 1. in the mixture, 24 litres water is added and the difference between milk and water in final mixture becomes 84 litres. Find the initial quantity of the mixture (in liters).

A.

144

B.

180

C.

D.

240

E.

96

Correct option is B

Let the initial quantity of milk in the mixture = 4x
And, the initial quantity of water in the mixture = x
ATQ, 4x – (x+24) = 84
3x = 108
x = 36
So, initial quantity of the mixture = 5×36 = 180 litres
