The ratio of milk and water in 560 liters of mixture is 4 : 3. 140 liters of mixture are taken out. Find the quantity of milk now.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Total mixture = 560 liters
Milk : Water = 4 : 3
Mixture drawn off = 140 liters
Initial milk = (4/7) × 560 = 320 liters
Milk in 140 liters of mixture = (4/7) × 140 = 80 liters
Remaining milk = 320 − 80 = 240 liters
