9) There are 2 vessels A & B containing 25 liters each of pure milk and pure water respectively. 5 liters of milk from A is taken and poured into B , then 6 liters of mixture from B is taken and poured in A. What is ratio of water A and B respectively.

• ANSWER : 1:4
  
  SOLUTION :
  
  At first
  A cotain Milk = 25 Water = 0
  B cotain Milk = 00 Water = 25
  5 litres of milk taken from A and poured in B then
  A cotain Milk = 20 Water = 0
  B cotain Milk = 5 Water = 25
  6 litres(1 lit Milk & 5 lit Water) of mixture from B and poured in A.
  So, Finally
  A cotain Milk = 21 Water = 5
  B cotain Milk = 4 Water = 20
  Ratio of water in A & B is 5:20 = 1:4

• Answer 1:4
  first from question
  A contains milk=25 liters and water=0
  B contains milk=0 and water=25 liters
  5 liters of milk taken from A and poured in B then
  A contains milk=20 liters and water=0
  B contains milk=5 and water=25 liter
  6 liter of mixture poured from B to A
  6 liters=(1liter of milk and 5 liter of water) ....(ie 25liters of water/5liters of milk ...5:1)
  So, Finally
  A contain Milk = 21 liters and water= 5 liters
  B contain Milk = 4 liter of milk and 20liters of water
  Ratio of water in A & B is 5:20 = 1:4

• There are only 2 vessels A and B...
  Not 4 each containing wate and milk respectively..
  So A has Milk and B has Water
  A = 25 and B =25
  5 litre taken from A and poured into B i.e A=20 & b30
  now 6 litre of mixture is taken from B and poured into A i.e. A=26 and b = 24Now Ratio becomes 13:12
