Multiple choice

Find the value of both quantities and then state the correct relationship. Quantity I: A jar contains a mixture of two liquids A and B in the ratio 4:1. When 10 Litre of the mixture is taken out and 10 Litre of liquid B was poured into the jar the ratio became 2:3. The quantity of liquid A contained in the jar initially is? Quantity II: A jar contained a mixture of two liquid A and B in the ratio 6:5. When 10 Litre of mixture is taken out and 10 Litre of liquid B was poured into the jar , the ratio became 3:5. The quantity of liquid B contained in the jar finally.

  1. Quantity I > Quantity II

  2. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II

  3. Quantity II > Quantity I

  4. Quantity II ≥ Quantity I

  5. Quantity I = Quantity II or Relation cannot be established

C Correct answer
Explanation

For Quantity I, initial A:B = 4:1. Removing 10L and adding 10L of B changes ratio to 2:3. Solving gives initial A = 40L. For Quantity II, initial A:B = 6:5. Same operation changes ratio to 3:5. Final B = 40L. Since 40 < 40 is false, actually 40 = 40. Wait, checking: For QII final B = 40L, but QI asks for initial A = 40L. So Quantity I = Quantity II, meaning answer should be E, not C.
