Alligation or Mixture problems
From the 50 liters of milk, 5 liters of milk is taken out and after it 5 liters of water is added to the rest amount of milk. Again 5 liters of milk and water is drawn out and it was replaced by 5 liters of water. If this process is continued similarly for the third time, the amount of milk left after the third replacement:
General Formula: Final or reduced concentration = initial concentration x 1 - a m o u n t b e i n g r e p l a c e d i n e a c h o p e r a t i o n t o t a l a m o u n t n where n is the number of times the same operation is being repeated. The "amount being replaced" could be pure or mixture as per the case. similarly ,"total amount" could also be either pure or mixture. Here amount being replaced denotes the quantity which is to be withdrawn in each time. Therefore, 50 × 1 - 5 50 3 = 36.45 L
Copper in 4 kg = 4/5 kg and Zinc in 4 kg = 4 x (4/5) kg Copper in 5 kg = 5/6 kg and Zinc in 5 kg = 5 x (5/6) kg Therefore, Copper in mixture = 4 5 + 5 6 = 49 30 kg and Zinc in the mixture = 16 5 + 25 6 = 221 30 kg Therefore the required ratio = 49 : 221
Let the amount of juice and water in original mixture '4x' litre and '3x' litre respectively.
According to given data,
4x / 3x + 6 = 8/7
28x = 24x + 48
28 x ? 24x = 48
4x = 48
x = 12
Amount of juice = 4x = 4×12 = 48 litre.
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.
Here withdrawal of liquid A and B result into making the container empty. Hence percentage of two liquids withdrawn are two components of the percentage by which the container becomes empty. Applying the rule of alligation, we getA : B = 10 : 20 or 1 : 2 Quantity of liquid = 1 (1 + 2) × 90 = 30 liters Quantity of liquid B = 90 ? 30 = 60 liters.
