A vessel holds 60 litres of a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 2 : 1. How many litres of the mixture must be drawn out and replaced by water so that milk and water become equal in quantity?

  • A10 litres
  • B12 litres
  • C15 litres
  • D20 litres
Correct answer: C

Explanation

Milk must fall from 40 L to 30 L, i.e. to 3/4 of its quantity, so 1/4 of the mixture (15 L) is replaced by water.
