Alligation or Mixture problems
A mixture contains spirit and water in the ratio of 3 : 2. If it contains 3 litres more spirit than water, the quantity of spirit in the mixture is
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.

W i n e ( l e f t ) W a t e r ( a d d e d ) = 343 169 It means W i n e ( l e f t ) W i n e ( i n i t i a l a m o u n t ) = 343 512 ? 343 + 169 = 512 Thus , 343 x = 512 x 1 - 15 K 3 ? 343 512 = 7 8 3 = 1 - 15 k 3 => K = 120 Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.
