Q.19 Medium Quantitative Aptitude
A mixture contains 60 liters of milk and 40 liters of water. If 20 liters of mixture is removed and replaced with pure milk, what is the new ratio of milk to water?
A 17:8
B 3:1
C 4:1
D 5:2
Correct Answer:  A. 17:8
Explanation:

To find the new ratio of milk to water after removing and replacing part of the mixture, we track the quantities of each component separately.

Step 1: Find the proportion of milk and water in the original mixture

Total mixture = 60 + 40 = 100 liters

When 20 liters of mixture is removed:

- Milk removed: \(\frac{60}{100} \times 20 = 12\) liters

- Water removed: \(\frac{40}{100} \times 20 = 8\) liters

Step 2: Calculate milk and water remaining after removal

\[\text{Milk remaining} = 60 - 12 = 48\text{ liters}\]
\[\text{Water remaining} = 40 - 8 = 32\text{ liters}\]

Step 3: Add 20 liters of pure milk

The 20 liters removed is replaced entirely with pure milk (no water added):

\[\text{New milk quantity} = 48 + 20 = 68\text{ liters}\]
\[\text{Water quantity} = 32\text{ liters (unchanged)}\]

Step 4: Find the new ratio

\[\text{Ratio of milk to water} = \frac{68}{32} = \frac{17}{8}\]

Answer: The new ratio of milk to water is 17:8 (Option A)

Correct Answer:  B. Rs. 11,600
Explanation:
