Q:

A tin a mixture of two liquids A and B in the proportion 4 : 1. If 45 litres of the mixture is replaced by 45 litres of liquid B, then the ratio of the two liquids becomes 2 : 5. How much of the liquid B was there in the tin? What quantity does the tin hold?

A) 58 l B) 65 l
C) 50 l D) 62 l

Answer:   C) 50 l



Explanation:

Let the tin contain 5x litres of liquids

5x - 45 x 455x - 45 x 15 + 45 = 25

=> 5(4x - 36) = 2(x + 36)

=> 20x - 180 = 2x + 72

=> x = 14 litres

Hence, the initial quantity of mixture = 70l

Quantity of liquid B

= 70 - 45 x 15 + 45 

= 50 litres.
