Question

in a mixture the ratio of milk and water is 3:2.If milk is 5l more than water then find the quantity of milk ?

Answer 1

Let the quantity of milk be 3x
Then water will be 2x
B/Q,
3x = 2x + 5
» 3x-2x = 5
» x = 5

So, quantity of milk = 3*5 = 15 ltrs
and quantity of water = 2*5 = 10 ltrs

....Hope it helps......

Answer 2

assume that,
       milk=a
       water=b
        a=1.5 b-------(1)
as per the question
      a=b+5
       1.5b=b+5
        o.5b=5
             b=10
as per the first equation
         a=1.5b    (b=10)
        a=10
so the quantity of milk =15L
