Question

There are two vessels A&B having quantities milk and water. The ratio of quantity in vessel is 6:7 and both of them having equal quantity of water. The quantity of pure milk in vessel A and B respectively 40L and 50L. Now these two vessels A and B quantities put in another vessel C, Find the ratio of milk and water in vessel C?

  • A) 9:4
  • B) 3:4
  • C) 5:6
  • D) 7:5
  • E) 8:11
Solution

Ans. A

Let the quantity of water=x
According to the question,
40+x/50+x=6/7
280+7x=300+6x
X=20
So quantity of water in each vessel=20L
After putting into vessel C,
Total milk=40+50=90L
Total water=20+20=40L
So milk/water=90/40=9:4
Hence, option A.
