Option 2 : 2251/4824
Available proportion in the tank = 15 litres of milk : 7 litres of water = 15 : 7
Total quantity available in tank = (15 + 7) litres = 22 liters
To find the amount of mixture added from first barrel :
Total amount available in first barrel = 25 liters
Amount added to tank = 75% of total amount
⇒ 75% of 25 = (75/100) × 25 = 18.75 litres
Amount of milk in the added mixture = (12/17) × 18.75 = 13.235 litres = 13.24 litres (approx.)
Amount of water in added mixture = 18.75 - 13.24 = 5.51 liters
To find the amount of mixture added from second barrel :
Total amount available = 40 liters
Amount added to tank = 75% of total amount = 75% of 40 = (75 × 40)/100 = 30 liters
Amount of milk in the added mixture = (14/21) × 30 = 20 liters
Amount of water in added mixture = 30 - 20 = 10 liters
Total amount of milk available in prepared mixture = 15 + 13.24 + 20 = 48.24 liters
Total amount of water available in prepared mixture = 7 + 5.51 + 10 = 22.51 liters
∴ Required ratio = (amount of water)/(amount of milk) = 2251/4824
