  1. In a mixture of 80 liters, the ratio of milks and water is 3:2 . How much water must be added to this mixture so that the ratio of milk and water becomes 3:4.
    24
    28
    40
    36
    32
    Option E
    Total mixture =80 liters.
    milk =80*3/5 =48
    water =80*2/5 =32
    Let, x liters of water is added.

    250
    300
    400
    Option B
    Let students in three classes be
    2x, 3x and 5x respectively.
    According to the question ,
    (2x+20):(3x+20):(5x+20) =4:5:7
    2x+20/3x+20 =4/5
    12x+80 =10x+100
    2x=20
    x=10
    Total students =(2*10)+(3*10)+(5*10)
    = 20+30+50 =100
