Question

In a mixture of 25 litres, the ratio of milk to water is 4:1. Another 3 litres of water is added to the mixture. The ratio of milk to water in the new mixture is

A) 5:1 B) 5:2 C) 5:3 D) 5:4

Answer 1

Quantity of milk in 25 litres = 25×45 = 20 litres

Quantity of water in 25 litres = 15 litres

Quantity of new mix = 25+5 = 30 litres

Quantity of milk in new mix = 20 litres

Quantity of water in new mix = 5+5 = 10 litres

Ratio of milk and water in new mix = 20 : 10 = 2 : 1
