Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44. The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
Suppose the can initially contains 7x and 5x of mixtures A and B respectively. Quantity of A in mixture left = ❨ 7x - 7 x 9 ❩ litres = ❨ 7x - 21 ❩ litres. 12 4 Quantity of B in mixture left = ❨ 5x - 5 x 9 ❩ litres = ❨ 5x - 15 ❩ litres. 12 4 ∴ ❨ 7x - 21 ❩ 4 = 7 ❨ 5x - 15 ❩ + 9 4 9 ⟹ 28x - 21 = 7 20x + 21 9 ⟹ 252x - 189 = 140x + 147 ⟹ 112x = 336 ⟹ x = 3. So, the can contained 21 litres of A.
Given rate of wheat at cheap = Rs. 2.90/kg Rate of wheat at cost = Rs. 3.20/kg Mixture rate = Rs. 3/kg Ratio of mixture = 2.90 3.20 3 (3.20 - 3 = 0.20) (3 - 2.90 = 0.10) 0.20 : 0.10 = 2:1 Hence, wheat at Rs. 3.20/kg be mixed with wheat at Rs. 2.90/kg in the ratio of 2:1, so that the mixture be worth Rs. 3/kg.
