Alligation or Mixture problems
A can contains a mixture of 2 liquids A and B in proportion 7 : 5 when 9 liters of mixture are drawn off and the can is filled with B, the proportion of A and B becomes 7 : 9. How many liters of liquid A was contained by the can initially?
Let the amount of juice and water in original mixture '4x' litre and '3x' litre respectively. According to given data, 4x/3x+6 =8/7 28x=24x+48 28x?24x=48 4x = 48 x = 12 Amount of juice = 4x = 4×12 = 48 litre.
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litreQuantity of water = 20 litreTo make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milkSo, water should be 80 litre.That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.

Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel A is 4 : 1 Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2 Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5 Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5 Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B => 4/5 : 3/5 x 3/5-x x - 4/5 => 3 5 - x x - 4 5 = 1 1 (equal quantities) => x = 7/10 Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C = 7 => Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3 Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
