39. A milk vendor has 2 cans of milk. The first contains 25% water and the rest milk. The second contains 50% water. How much milk should he mix from each of the containers so as to get 12 litres of milk such that the ratio of water to milk is 3 : 5?
Answer: 6 litres
Explanation:Milk in 1 litre mixture in 1st can = 3/4 litre.
Milk in 1 litre mixture in 2n d can = 1/2 litre.
Milk in 1 litre final mixture = 5/8 litre.
By rule of alligation we have required ratio 5 : 8
3/4 1/2
\ /
(5/8)
/ \
1/8 : 1/8
Therefore ratio of two mixtures =1/8:1/8=1:1
So, quantity of mixture taken from each can =(1/2)*12= 6 litres
