Multiple choice

Given below are two quantities named I and II. Based on the given data, you have to determine the relation between them and mark the answer Quantity I- there is 64 litres of mixture of milk and water having the ratio 5:3. By adding more water, concentration of the mixture reduces and the volume increases to 75 lires. What is the new concentration of milk. Quantity II- in a 70 litres of mixture of milk and water, the quantity of milk is 40 litre. The concentration was reduced, by adding more water and the volume was increased to 110 litres. The new concentration of milk

  1. Quantity I > Quantity II

  2. Quantity I < Quantity II

  3. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II

  4. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II

  5. Quantity I = Quantity II or relation can not be established

A Correct answer
Explanation

Quantity I: 64 liters with milk:water = 5:3 means milk = 40 liters, water = 24 liters. After adding water, total = 75 liters, milk remains 40 liters. New milk concentration = 40/75 = 53.33%. Quantity II: 70 liters contains 40 liters milk. After adding water to reach 110 liters, milk remains 40 liters. New concentration = 40/110 = 36.36%. Since 53.33% > 36.36%, Quantity I > Quantity II.
