Solution

Let 5x litre mixture is taken from first vessel
It contains 4x litre milk and x litres water
Let 5y litre mixture is taken from second vessel
It contains 3y litre milk and 2y litre water
4x+3y=25 …………(1)
x+2y=10 …………..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
4x+3y=25
4(x+2y)=10×4
5y=15
y=3
x=4
5x=4×5=20 litre
5y=5×3=15 litre
5x+5y=35 litre =M
M5=355=7
M5=7.
