Q:

A mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4 : 3. If 5 liters of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 4: 5. Find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture.

A) 10 B) 12
C) 15 D) 18
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10

Explanation:

Let the quantity of alcohol and water be 4x litres and 3x litres respectively

 

4x/(3x+5) = 4/5 

 

20x = 4(3x+5)

 

8x = 20

 

x = 2.5

 

Quantity of alcohol = (4 x 2.5) litres = 10 litres.
