The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning outlined in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the problem We have a vessel with a total capacity of 160 liters filled with a mixture of milk and water. We need to find the original quantities of milk and water in the vessel. ### Step 2: Define variables Let: - \( x \) = original quantity of milk (in liters) - \( 160 - x \) = original quantity of water (in liters) ### Step 3: Calculate the quantities taken out According to the problem: - 70% of the milk is taken out: \[ \text{Milk taken out} = 0.7x \] - 30% of the water is taken out: \[ \text{Water taken out} = 0.3(160 - x) = 48 - 0.3x \] ### Step 4: Calculate the remaining quantities After taking out the specified quantities, the remaining quantities in the vessel are: - Remaining milk: \[ \text{Remaining milk} = x - 0.7x = 0.3x \] - Remaining water: \[ \text{Remaining water} = (160 - x) - (48 - 0.3x) = 160 - x - 48 + 0.3x = 112 - 0.7x \] ### Step 5: Set up the equation based on the remaining mixture After the removal, it is stated that the vessel is now filled with 55% of the total capacity (160 liters): \[ \text{Total remaining mixture} = 0.55 \times 160 = 88 \text{ liters} \] Thus, we can write the equation: \[ 0.3x + (112 - 0.7x) = 88 \] ### Step 6: Simplify the equation Combine like terms: \[ 0.3x + 112 - 0.7x = 88 \] \[ -0.4x + 112 = 88 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( x \) Subtract 112 from both sides: \[ -0.4x = 88 - 112 \] \[ -0.4x = -24 \] Now, divide by -0.4: \[ x = \frac{-24}{-0.4} = 60 \] ### Step 8: Find the quantity of water Now, substitute \( x \) back to find the quantity of water: \[ \text{Water} = 160 - x = 160 - 60 = 100 \] ### Conclusion The original quantities are: - Quantity of Milk = \( 60 \) liters - Quantity of Water = \( 100 \) liters ### Final Answer - Milk: 60 liters - Water: 100 liters ---
