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 consecutive odd number be x, x + 2, x + 4 and x + 6 respectively.According to the question x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 104 = 4x + 12 = 104 = 4x = 104 - 12 = 92∴ x = 92/4 = 23∴ Required number = x + 4= 23 + 4 = 27
