Vessel 'A' contains a total of 45 liters of a mixture of milk and water such that milk is 80% of water. Some quantity of milk is taken out from the vessel and the same quantity of water is also taken out and these are added to honey in vessel 'B' to form a mixture 'P', which contains 4 liters of honey. If mixture 'P' contains 40% of water, then in total what percent of the mixture is taken out from vessel 'A'?
Between 24% to 28%
Between 28% to 32%
Between 32% to 36%
Between 36% to 40%
Between 40% to 44%
Let's solve stepwise with all necessary explanations:
- Start by letting the amount of milk in 'A' = x, water = y, with x + y = 45.
- Given milk is 80% of water ? x = 0.8y.
- So, 0.8y + y = 45 ? 1.8y = 45 ? y = 25, x = 20.
- Suppose 't' liters of milk and 't' liters of water are taken out from 'A' (since it's said "same quantity").
- These '2t' liters are added to 4 liters of honey in 'B' to make mixture 'P'.
- Mixture 'P' has (t milk + t water + 4 honey) liters, and 40% of this is water:
- Water in P = t; Total volume in P = 2t + 4
- 40% of (2t + 4) = t ? 0.4(2t + 4) = t ? 0.8t + 1.6 = t ? 1.6 = 0.2t ? t = 8
Now, total quantity taken out from 'A' = 2t = 16 liters
Original quantity in 'A' = 45 liters
Percentage = (16/45) × 100 ˜ 35.56%
- So, it's between 32% and 36% (Option 3).
Option 1: 24%-28% is too low
Option 2: 28%-32% is too low
Option 3: 32%-36% is correct
Option 4 & 5: Values are too high
Correct Answer:
Option 3: Between 32% to 36%
