A pot contains 81 litres of pure milk. 1/3 of the milk is replaced by the same amount of water. Again 1/3 of the mixture is replaced by that amount of water. The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture is ?
Answers
Answer:
Initially, Milk = 81 litres and Water = 0 litre.
After 1st operation,
Milk = (81 – 1/3 × 81) litres
= (81 – 27) litres
= 54 litres
Water = (0 + 1/3 × 81) litres
= 27 litres
After 2nd operation,
Milk = (54 – 1/3 × 54) litres
= (54 – 18) litres
Water = (27 – 1/3 × 27) litres + (1/3 × 54 + 1/3 × 27) litres
= (27 – 9) litres + (18 + 9) litres
= 45 litres
Therefore required ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 36 : 45 = 4 : 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Initially, Milk = 81 litres and Water = 0 litre.
After 1st operation,
Milk = (81 – 1/3 × 81) litres
= (81 – 27) litres
= 54 litres
Water = (0 + 1/3 × 81) litres
= 27 litres
After 2nd operation,
Milk = (54 – 1/3 × 54) litres
= (54 – 18) litres
Water = (27 – 1/3 × 27) litres + (1/3 × 54 + 1/3 × 27) litres
= (27 – 9) litres + (18 + 9) litres
= 45 litres
Therefore required ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 36 : 45 = 4 : 5.
