Alligation or Mixture problems
From a cask of wine, containing 64 liters, 8 liters are drawn out and the cask is filled up with water. If the same process is repeated a second, then a third time, what will be the number of liters of wine left in the cask?
Let the amount of juice and water in original mixture '4x' litre and '3x' litre respectively.
According to given data,
4x / 3x + 6 = 8/7
28x = 24x + 48
28 x ? 24x = 48
4x = 48
x = 12
Amount of juice = 4x = 4×12 = 48 litre.
Profit (%) = 9.09 % = 1/11 Since the ratio of water and milk is 1 : 11, Therefore the ratio of water is to mixture = 1:12 Thus the quantity of water in mixture of 1 liter = 1000 x (1/12) = 83.33 ml
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
