Question: A vessel contains 140 litres of milk and water in the ratio of 4 : 3. If 20 litres of milk and 30 litres of water are added to the mixture, the difference between milk and water in the final mixture is Y. Find the value of 7Y?
Solution:
Given,
Total mixture = 140 litres
Ratio of milk and water = 4 : 3
Sum of the ratios = 4 + 3 = 7
Initially,
Quantity of milk = 140 × (4/7) = 80 litres
Quantity of water = 140 × (3/7) = 60 litres
After adding 20 litres of milk and 30 litres of water:
New quantity of milk = 80 + 20 = 100 litres
New quantity of water = 60 + 30 = 90 litres
According to the question, the difference between milk and water is Y:
∴ Y = |100 - 90| = 10 litres
∴ The value of 7Y = 7 × 10 = 70
