Mixture Capacity in Three Vessels
CMAT 2025 · Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation · Medium · Quantitative Techniques
Three vessels 'P', 'Q' and 'R' of same capacity are all full. Vessels 'P' and 'Q' contain mixture of milk and water in the ratios 4 : 1 and 7 : 3 respectively while vessel 'R' contains only pure milk. The contents of these vessels are poured into a larger vessel 'S'. After drawing 30 litres of mixture from vessel 'S', the final quantity of water left in vessel 'S' is 40 litres, then the capacity of each vessel is:
- A.
80 litres
- B.
85 litres
- C.
90 litres
- D.
95 litres
C
Explanation
Let the capacity of each vessel be litres. Water in P = , Water in Q = , Water in R = 0. Total water in vessel S = . Total capacity of vessel S = . Ratio of water in vessel S = . When 30 litres is drawn, water removed = litres. Remaining water = litres.
