C. 21
D. 15
E. None of these
Explanation:
In the mixture of 45 litre,
Milk= | 45 | × 4 = 36ltr, Water= | 45 | × 1 = 9ltr |
5 | 5 |
Hence, option B is correct.
Explanation:
Total mixture = 48 + 144 = 192 litre
% of Glycerin = 48/ 192 × 100 = 25% = % of Rose water = 75%
In the final mixture glycerin= 30%, Rose water = 70%
(48 – D × 25% + 32) : (144 – D × 75% + 48) = 3 : 7
7 (48 – D × 25% + 32) = 3 (144 – D × 75% + 48)
7 (80 – 0.25 D) = 3 (192 – 0.75 D)
560 – 1.75 D = 576 – 2.25 D
2.25 D – 1.75 D = 576 – 560
Hence, option B is correct.
Explanation:
Let alchohol = 6x, water = 5x According to the question,
6x – 22 × | 6 | : 5x – 22 × | 5 | + 22 = 9 : 13 |
11 | 11 |
Hence, option D is correct.
Explanation:
Let required amount of second solution to be added = a L
Then | 15 × 20 + 5a | = 10 |
20 + a |
Hence, option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Given, quantity of the alloy = 200 gm.
If Copper : Zinc = 2 : 3
Then quantity of Copper = | 2 | × 200 = 80gm |
5 |
And quantity of Zinc = | 3 | × 200 = 120gm |
5 |
⇒ x = 100 gm So The quantity of Copper to be added is 100gm
Hence, option B is correct.
Explanation:
Let the quantity of Rs.5.4 per kg rice = x kg
According to the question,
x × 5.4 + 4.5 × 10 = 5.94 × (10 + x) ÷ 120 × 100
5.4x + 45 = 4.95 × (10 + x)
Hence, option A is correct.
Explanation:
Let, Ducks = x, Rabbit = y
As, Duck has 2 legs and rabbit has 4 legs,
Hence, option A is correct.
Explanation:
Let the capacity of each be ‘a’ litre Then quantity of milk in container after mixing is
= | ( | 3 × 6 + 7 × 3 + 11 × 2 | ) | a |
30 |
And quantity of water in container after mixing is
⇒ required ratio of milk to water after mixing
= | = 61:29 | |
Explanation:
Let the required volume of water to be added = x ml
When added to 7 ml lotion, the total volume = “7 + x” ml
If the lotion contains 70% alcohol, then it contains 30% water
If it contains 35% alcohol, it contains 65% water.
By balancing the volume of water before and after dilution of the lotion, we get :
(Amount of water in lotion before dilution) + (amount of water added) = (amount of water in lotion after dilution)
(30% of 7) + x = (65% of “7 + x”)
⇒ ( 30 × 7 ) + x = 65 × 7 + x
⇒ 210 + 100x = 65 × (7 + x)
Hence, option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
The quantity of milk in the mixture
The quantity of water in the mixture= 35 – 20 = 15 litres
Now, let the quantity of water added to the mixture be x litres. Then water becomes 60% of the total quantity of mixture. ∴ Required % of water in mixture
= | Total quantity of water | = 60% | |
Total quantity of mixture |
⇒ 75 + 5x = 105 + 3x ⇒ 2x = 30
∴ x = 15 litres.
Hence, option D is correct.

Re: How many litres of water needs to be added to 25 litres of a solution [#permalink]
the initial amount of milk=8/13 * 25=200/13 L;the amount of milk remains the same since water is only added;therefore, in the final ratio of milk: water =5:8-->5/13 *x=200/135x=200;x=40 Litres; initial amount=25 litres; so, 15 litres of water is added
answer is A)

We can create the equation:8x + 5x = 2513x = 25x = 25/13So originally we have 8 * 25/13 = 200/13 liters of milk and 5 * 25/13 = 125/13 liters of water. Now we can let w = the number of liters of water added to the solution so that the ratio of milk to water is 5 to 8 and create the equation:(200/13) / (125/13 + w) = 5/85(125/13 + w) = 8(200/13)625/13 + 5w = 1600/135w = 975/135w = 75w = 15Answer: A

=(1-8/13)/(8/13-5/13)=5/13So now 5/13=25/x=> x=15Can also be done by number line method
