A mixture is composed of 11 parts of pure milk and 2 parts of water. If 35 litres of water were added to the mixture then the new mixture will contain twice as much pure milk as water, then how many litres of pure milk does the original mixture contain?

Solution

Answer: Option A

Solution:

\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{\text{Original mixture}}}&{{\text{Milk}}}&{}&{{\text{Water}}} \\ {}&{11}&:&2 \\ {}&2&:&1 \end{array}

So, the quantity of milk in original mixture is 22 unit × 5 Ltr. = 110 Ltr.
