    729 mL of a mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 7:2. How much more water is to be added to get a new mixture containing milk and water in the ratio 7:3?

    A)  600 mL       

    B)  710 Ml

    C)  520 mL         

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Milk \[=\,\left( 729\times \frac{7}{9} \right)=567\,\text{mL}\] Water \[=729-567=162\,\text{mL}\] Now, let quantity of water added \[=x\,mL\] \[\frac{567}{162+x}=\frac{7}{3}\,\Rightarrow \,x=81\,\text{mL}\]
