Alligation or Mixture problems
From a container of wine, a thief has stolen 15 liters of wine and replaced it with same quantity of water.He again repeated the same process. Thus in three attempts the ratio of wine and water became 343:169. The initial amount of wine in the container was:
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.
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.
Let us assume that the lotion has 50% alcohol and 50% water.ratio = 1:1As the total solution is 9mlalcohol = water = 4.5mlNow if we want the quantity of alcohol = 30%The quantity of water = 70%The new ratio = 3:7Let x ml of water be addedWe get, 4 . 5 4 . 5 + x = 3 7 => x=6Hence 6ml of water is added.
