Question

**A mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4 : 3. If 5 litres of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 4: 5. Find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture**

A. 11 ltr

B. 12ltr

C. 10ltr

D. 15ltr

Correct Answer :

C. 10ltr

Let the quantity of alcohol and water be 4x litres and 3x litres respectively
4x/(3x+5)=4/5
⇔20x=4(3x+5)
⇔8x=20
⇔x=2.5
Quantity of alcohol = (4 x 2.5) litres = 10 litres.
