Alligation or Mixture problems
From a vessel filled with alcohol 1/5 of its contents is removed and the vessel is then filled up with water. If this be done 5 times in succession, what proportion of the alcohol originally contained in the vessel will have been removed from it?
Profit (%) = 9.09 % = 1/11 Since the ratio of water and milk is 1 : 11, Therefore the ratio of water is to mixture = 1:12 Thus the quantity of water in mixture of 1 liter = 1000 x (1/12) = 83.33 ml
The given solution has 75% milk.
Milk to be added has 100% milk.
Milk should be added to the given mixture in the ratio 15 : 10 or 3 : 2
Quantity of milk to be added = (3 / 2) × 6 = 9 liters.
