In a mixture of 45 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 3 : 2. How much water must be added to make the ratio 9 : 11?
10 liters
15 liters
17 liters
20 liters
Let milk = 3x, water = 2x
So, 3x + 2x = 45
x= 9
Suppose x litre of water is added to mix such that
27/(18+x) =9/11
> 162 + 9x = 297
= > 9x = 135
= > x = 15
