From a container, 6 liters milk was drawn out and was replaced by water. Again 6 liters of mixture was drawn out and was replaced by the water. Thus the quantity of milk and water in the container after these two operations is 9:16. The quantity of mixture is:
Correct Answer: 15
Let quantity of mixture be x liters.
Suppose a container contains x units of liquid from which y units are taken out and replaced by Water. After operations , the quantity of pure liquid = x1-yxn units, Where n = no of operations .
So, Quantity of Milk = x1-6x2
Given that, Milk : Water = 9 : 16
=> Milk : (Milk + Water) = 9 : (9+16)
=> Milk : Mixture = 9 : 25
Therefore, x1-6x2x=925
=> x = 15 liters
