A) 23.12 litres
B) 27 litres
C) 21.55 litres
D) 37.55 litres
E) 32 litres
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Ratio pf milk to water in Jar A = 140: 25 = 28: 5 The quantity of mixture taken out from Jar A = x litres Then, the quantity of milk \[=\frac{28}{33}x\] Quantity of water \[=\frac{5x}{33}\] Now, in Jar B \[=\frac{\frac{28x}{33}+16}{\frac{5x}{33}}=\frac{21}{2}\] \[or,\frac{28x+16\times 33}{5x}=\frac{21}{2}\] or, 56x + 1056 = l05x or, 49x = 1056 \[\therefore x=\frac{1056}{49}=21.55liters\]You need to login to perform this action.
