Two vessels contain equal quantities of 40% alcohol Sachin changed the concentration of the first vessel to 50% by adding extra quantity of pure alcohol. Vivek changed the concentration of the second vessel to 50% replacing a certain quantity of the solution with pure alcohol. By, what percentage is the quantity of alcohol added by Sachin more/less than that replaced by Vivek?

Answer:

The answer is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each vessel contain 100 liters of 40% alcohol.

Now according to question.

40 + x/ 100 + x= 50/100

80 + 2x = 100 + x

x = 20 liters

Suppose Vivel replaced y liters.

Alcohol in y liters.

40/100 x y = 2y/5

Now

40 - 2y/5 + y /100 = 50 / 100

80 - 4y/5 + 2y = 100

2y - 4y/5 = 20

6y/5 = 2=

6y = 100

Since y = 50/3

Required % = (20 - 50/3 / 50 /3 = 100)%

                  = 10/3 x 3/50 x 100% = 20%

Answer:

quantity of alcohol added by Sachin 20 % more than that replaced by Vivek

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say Both Solution = 100 L

Alocohol = 40L

Other Liquid = 60L

Sachin added  S L of pure alochol

=> Alocohol= 40 + S  L

Total = 100 + S  L

40 + S  = (50/100)(100 + S)

=> 80 + 2S = 100 + S

=> S = 20

Let Say Vivek Raplaced V Litre

V litre has  0.4V  alocohol

So Alochol = 40 - 0.4V  + V  = 50

=> 0.6V = 10

=> V = 50/3

Sachin add  more than Vivek = 20 - 50/3  =  10/3

%  =  100 * (10/3)/(50/3)

= 20 %

quantity of alcohol added by Sachin 20 % more than that replaced by Vivek
