Q:
A mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4:3. If 5 liters of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 4:5. Find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture.
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) 10 Liters
Explanation: Let the quantity of alcohol and water be 4x liters and 3x liters respectively. Then,
(4x)/(3x+5) = 4/5
=> 20x = 4(3x+5)
=> x = 2.5
Quantity of alcohol = (4 * 2.5) liters = 10 liters.
