thx AZ team
Can you please explain q1 in an alternative method…
let the quantity of milk =x lit
now 1lit milk =1.15 rs
=>x lit milk =1.15x rs
now total mix =(x+15)l
Now cp of (x+15)l mix =1.15x
now sp of 1 lit mix =1 re
=>(x+15)l mix =x+15 rs
now a/c
cp of mix = sp of mix
=>1.15x =x+15
=>0.15x =15 =>x =milk =100 lit
thanks a lot man 🙂
my plzur man….:))
Thnks mam..for fulfillment of my request…
Dear A2Z team can you explain 8th question
This step so initial = 3/3+5*40 = 15ltr
see here..:)
5/8—————1
——-7/10——
3/10———3/40
=>ratio =4:1
now 1 ratio =8 =>4 ratio =32
now 32 l mix is left after the removal of 8 liters so org mix =32+8 =40l
now quantity of p=3/8 *40 =15ltrs..
tq mam
