640 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in ratio 6:2. How much of the water is to be added to get a new mixture containing half milk and half water ?
-
- 310 ml
- 320 ml
- 330 ml
- 340 ml
- 325 ml
Correct Option: B
Let us assume the ratio product is Q.
According to question,
Quantity of Milk in mixture = 6Q ml
Quantity of Water in mixture = 2Q ml
Quantity of Milk in mixture + Quantity of Water in mixture = 640
6Q + 2Q = 640
8Q = 640
Q = 640/8
Q = 80
Quantity of Milk in mixture = 6Q ml = 6 x 80 = 480 ml
Quantity of Water in mixture = 2Q ml = 2 x 80 = 160 ml
To find the new mixture containing half milk and half water,
Quantity of water to be added for making the mixture of equal quantity of milk and water = 480 - 160 = 320
