180 kg of mixture of milk and water contains 5% water.How much more water should be added to it that water may be 10% in the mixture?


A) 10 kg

B) 15 kg

C) 20 kg

D) 12 kg

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

quality of water $=\frac{180\times 5}{100}=9kg$

Quality of milk $=180-9=171kgg$

Let x kg water be added.then,

$\frac{9+x}{180+x}\times 100=10$

$90+10x=180+x,x=10$

Hence, 10 kg of water should be added.
