A man has whisky worth Rs. 22 a liter and another lot worth

A man has whisky worth Rs. 22 a liter and another lot worth Rs. 18 a liter. Equal quantities of these are mixed with water to obtain a mixture of 50 liters worth Rs. 16 a liter. Find how much water the mixture contains ?

Two lots of whisky having equal quantities are mixed
Let the price of mixture of whisky be Rs. y per litre.
According to question ,

∴	18 – y	= 1
	y – 22

∴ y = Rs. 20 a litre .
Now this mixture is mixed with water and worth Rs. 16 a litre

Hence, the proportion of water to mixture =	20 – 16	= 1 : 4.
	16 – 0

Quantity of water =	50	× 1 = 10 litre.
	1 + 4
