Question

16 litres of water was added to a certain quantity of milk and the price was kept at 90 paise per litre. If the price of pure milk was Rs. 1.08 per litre, how much milk is there in the mixture?

• A. 40L
• B. 50L
• C. 60L
• D. 70L
• E. 80L

Answer 1

The correct option is E

80L

$\text{The mean value is 90 P and the price of water is 0 P}$

$\text{By the Alligation Rule, milk and water are in the ratio of 5:1.}\therefore \text{Quantity of milk in the mixture}=5\times 16=80litres.$
