A mixture of a certain quantity of milk with 16 litres of water is worth 90p per litre. if pure milk be worth Rs.1.08 per litre, how much milk is there in the mixture ??

• let the mixture contain 'x' lit of milk and already given 16lit of water
  as water don't cost (x+16) lit of mixture = x lit of pure milk
  (x+16)90=(x*1.08*100) /*since given in paise*/
  x=80lit

  By rule of mixtures
  the ratio of milk : water is 5:1
  
  
  therefore the quantity of milk in the mixture is 5 x 16 =80 ltrs

  let the price of water=rs.0
  According to question
  c.p of pure milk=rs.1.80
  c.p of mixture=rs.0.90
  by using alligation method,
  (0.9-0):(1.8-0.9)
  1:1
  1*16lts(given)
  =16lts(ans)
