Question

a vessel contains a mixture of milk and water in the respective ratio of 14::3, 25.5 litres

Answer 1

Quantity of water = 3xlitres

In 25.5 litres of mixture , Milk = 1417 x 25.5 = 21 litres

water = 4.5 litres

After respective additions in the resulting mixture water = 3x - 4.5 +2.5

=(3x-2)litres

Quantity of mixture = 17x-25.5+7.5

=(17x-18)litres

According to the question ,

3x−217x−18 = 20100 = 15

=>17x-18 =15x-10

=>17x-15x=18-10

2x=8=>x=4

Initial quantity of the mixture =17x=17X4=68 litres
