Question

A vessel contains total 95 litre mixture of milk & water in the ratio of 15 : 4 respectively. P litre of mixture taken out from the vessel and 18 litres water added in the remaining mixture, then the new ratio of milk to water becomes 3 : 2, find the value of P?
🎥 Video solution / Text Solution of this question is given below:

Mixture Problem: Find the Value of P

Total mixture = 95 L

Initial ratio of milk : water = 15 : 4

Milk = 1519×95=75L
Water = 419×95=20L

Step 1: Let P litres of mixture be removed

Milk removed = 1519×P=15P19
Water removed = 419×P=4P19

Remaining milk = 7515P19
Remaining water = 204P19

After adding 18 L of water:
New water = 204P19+18=384P19

Step 2: According to the new ratio

7515P19384P19=32

Step 3: Cross multiply

2(7515P19)=3(384P19)

15030P19=11412P19

36=18P19

P=36×1918=38

✅ Final Answer: P = 38 litres
