The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the information given in the question and derive the quantities of milk and water in the mixtures. ### Step 1: Understand the Ratios The ratio of milk to water in: - Mixture A is 3:2 - Mixture B is 5:4 This means: - For every 5 parts of mixture A, 3 parts are milk and 2 parts are water. - For every 9 parts of mixture B, 5 parts are milk and 4 parts are water. ### Step 2: Set Up the Total Quantities Let the total quantity of mixture A be \( 14x \) and the total quantity of mixture B be \( 9x \) (based on the ratio of 14:9). ### Step 3: Calculate Milk and Water in Mixture A In mixture A: - Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5 - Quantity of milk in A = \( \frac{3}{5} \times 14x = \frac{42x}{5} \) - Quantity of water in A = \( \frac{2}{5} \times 14x = \frac{28x}{5} \) ### Step 4: Calculate Milk and Water in Mixture B In mixture B: - Total parts = 5 + 4 = 9 - Quantity of milk in B = \( \frac{5}{9} \times 9x = 5x \) - Quantity of water in B = \( \frac{4}{9} \times 9x = 4x \) ### Step 5: Combine Mixtures A and B to Form Mixture C Now, the total quantities of milk and water in mixture C will be: - Total milk in C = Milk from A + Milk from B \[ \text{Milk in C} = \frac{42x}{5} + 5x = \frac{42x}{5} + \frac{25x}{5} = \frac{67x}{5} \] - Total water in C = Water from A + Water from B \[ \text{Water in C} = \frac{28x}{5} + 4x = \frac{28x}{5} + \frac{20x}{5} = \frac{48x}{5} \] ### Step 6: Set Up the Equation Based on Given Condition According to the problem, the quantity of milk in mixture C is 95 liters more than the quantity of water in mixture C: \[ \frac{67x}{5} = \frac{48x}{5} + 95 \] ### Step 7: Solve for x To eliminate the fractions, multiply the entire equation by 5: \[ 67x = 48x + 475 \] Subtract \( 48x \) from both sides: \[ 19x = 475 \] Now, divide by 19: \[ x = 25 \] ### Step 8: Calculate Total Quantity of Water in Mixture C Now substitute \( x \) back to find the total quantity of water in mixture C: \[ \text{Water in C} = \frac{48x}{5} = \frac{48 \times 25}{5} = \frac{1200}{5} = 240 \text{ liters} \] ### Final Answer The total quantity of water in mixture C is **240 liters**. ---
