Number System
In a five-litre mixture of milk and water the portion of water is 30%. How much milk should be added to the mixture so that the portion of water reduces to 5% ?
Original mixture = 5 litre; Milk = 3.5 litre;Water = 1.5 litre Let x litre of milk be added so thatthe mixture becomes (x + 5) litres and the percentage of water becomes 5%So, 1.5 = (x + 5) x 5/10030 = x + 5∴ x = 25 litre
Let the greater and the smaller number be g and s respectively.gs = 2560g + s exceeds g - s by 64 i.e., g + s - (g - s) = 64i.e., 2s = 64 => s = 32.g = 2560/s = 80.
