    A mixture of 40 L of milk and water contain 10% water. How much water must be added to make water 20% in the new mixture?

    A)  10 L                                      

    B)  7 L

    C)  5 L                                         

    D)  3 L

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Conventional Method Amount of milk in the odd mixture\[=40\times \frac{90}{100}=36\,L\] This 36 L is (100 - 20) = 80% of the new mixture = 36 L \[\therefore \]100% of new mixture\[=\frac{36}{80}\times 100=45\,L.\] \[\therefore \] (45 - 40) = 5 L of water must be added
