In a 40 litre mixture of alcohol & water, the ratio of alcohol and water is 5 : 3. If 20% of this mixture is taken out and the same amount of water is added then what will be the ratio of alcohol and water in final mixture?
Correct Answer: 1:1
Quantity of alohol in the mixture = 40 x 5/8 = 25 lit
Quantity of water = 40 - 25 = 15 lit
According to question,
Required ratio = 20 - 40 x 20100 x 5815 - 40 x 20100 x 38 + 40 x 20100 = 2015 - 3 + 8 = 1 : 1
