Question

24. A sample of x litres from a container
having a 60 litre mixture of milk and water
containing milk and water in the ratio of 2:3
is replaced with pure milk so that the
container will have milk and water in equal
proportions. What is the value of x?(ltr)
(a) 6
(b) 10
(C) 30
(d) None

Answer 1

Answer:

none

Step-by-step explanation:

let the composition be 2y,3y for milk and water respectively.

3y=60-2y

y=3/5*60=36

2y=60-3y

y=2/5*60=24

as it says,

" replaced with pure milk so that the

container will have milk and water in equal

proportions" ,

2y=3y

24+x=36

x=36-24=12
