Alligation or Mixture problems
In a mixture of 35 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 4:1. If 7 litres of water is added to the mixture, the ratio of milk and water of the new mixture will be
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
Average money received by each = 118/50 = Rs. 2.36 Therefore, Ratio of No.of boys and girls = 56 : 24 = 7 : 3 Therefore, Number of boys = 50 x (7/10) = 35 Number of girls = 50 - 35 = 15
Let initially milk and water in container B is 3x liter and x liter respectively
Now, 3x + (8/9) × 18 ? x ? (1/9) × 18 = 30
3x + 16 ? x ? 2 = 30
x = 8
Initial quantity is container B = 8 (3 + 1) = 32 Liter.
