Alligation or Mixture problems
From a cask of wine, containing 64 liters, 8 liters are drawn out and the cask is filled up with water. If the same process is repeated a second, then a third time, what will be the number of liters of wine left in the cask?
Ratio of milk andwater = 4:1 Quantity of water = 35/5 = 7 litres Quantity of milk = 35 X 4/5 = 28 litres If 7 litre of water is added, new quantity of water = 14 litre New ratio of milk and water = 28:14 = 2:1
Milk Water 74% 26% (initially) 76% 24% ( after replacement) Left amount = Initial amount 1 - r e p l a c e d a m o u n t t o t a l a m o u n t 24 = 26 1 - 7 k => k = 91
