In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements, we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option. Quantity A: Liquid A contains 40% milk and liquid B contains 66% milk. If third mixture is created by adding 8 parts of A and 5 parts of B in vessel C. Find the percentage of milk in vessel C. Quantity B: 5 litres of honey contains 80% sugar. 3 litres of water is added to this honey. What is the percentage of sugar in the new mixture?

In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements, we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option. Quantity A: Liquid A contains 40% milk and liquid B contains 66% milk. If third mixture is created by adding 8 parts of A and 5 parts of B in vessel C. Find the percentage of milk in vessel C. Quantity B: 5 litres of honey contains 80% sugar. 3 litres of water is added to this honey. What is the percentage of sugar in the new mixture? Correct Answer Quantity A = Quantity B or No relation

Quantity A: 

Let the 8 parts be 80 litre and 5 parts be 50 litre.

Milk poured from liquid A into vessel C = 40% of 80 = 32

Milk poured from liquid B into vessel C = 66% of 50 = 33

Total milk = 65

Total volume of vessel C = 130

Volume of milk = (65/130) × 100 = 50%

Quantity B: 

Sugar in 5 litre honey = 80% of 5 = 4 litres

New quantity of honey = 5 + 3 = 8 litres

∴ Required % = {(8 – 4)/8} × 100 = 50%

∴ Quantity A = Quantity B
