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?
Average speed = (100 / 10) = 10 km/hr. Ratio of time taken at 7 km/hr to 12 km/hr = 2 : 3 Time taken at 7 km/hr = 2 (2 + 3) × 10 = 4 hrs. Distance covered at 7 km/hr = 7 × 4 = 28 km. Distance covered at 12 km/hr = 100 ? 28 = 72 km.
Using Alligation rule, (Quantity of cheaper tea) / (Quantity of dearer tea) = (d - m) / (m - c) = 7/3Therefore, they must be mixed in the ratio of 7 : 3.
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.
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
