Original mixture = 5 litre; Milk = 3.5 litre;Water = 1.5 litre Let x litre of milk be added so thatthe mixture becomes (x + 5) litres and the percentage of water becomes 5%So, 1.5 = (x + 5) x 5/10030 = x + 5∴ x = 25 litre
In 150 litre, milk is 84%ie 150 x 84/100 = 126 litre Let us add x litres of waterTherefore, the quantity of mixture = 150 + x∴ 52.5% of (150 + x) = 126 litres 150 + x = 126x100/52.5 = 240 litres∴ x = 240 - 150 = 90 litres
