Directions (58-60): Read the information carefully and answer the following question given below. A right circular cylindrical vessel was filled with milk and water in the ratio 4: 5. If x ml of mixture was sold and replaced with x ml of pure milk , then the ratio of milk to water in the final mixture becomes 57:60.The quantity of mixture sold is 108 ml less than the initial quantity of mixture in the vessel.
A right circular cylindrical vessel was filled with milk and water in the ratio 4: 5. If x ml of mixture was sold and replaced with x ml of pure milk , then the ratio of milk to water in the final mixture becomes 57:
If the radius of vessel is 0.7 cm and 37 cm3 of the vessel is empty, then find the height of the vessel.
Correct Answer :
100 cm
Solution :
To find the height of the cylindrical vessel, we can break down the problem into two parts: determining the volume of the mixture in the vessel, and then using the cylinder's volume formula to find the height.
Step 1: Determine the initial quantity of the mixture
Let the initial quantity of the mixture in the vessel be ml.
The initial ratio of milk to water is .
Let the initial quantity of milk be and water be .
So, the total initial volume of the mixture is:
When ml of the mixture is sold (removed):
Milk removed =
Water removed =
After replacing the sold mixture with ml of pure milk, the new quantities are:
New quantity of milk =
New quantity of water =
The final ratio of milk to water is given as , which simplifies to by dividing both terms by 3.
Therefore, we can set up the ratio equation:
We are given that the quantity of mixture sold () is 108 ml less than the initial quantity of mixture ():
Step 2: Find the height of the cylindrical vessel
The total volume capacity of the vessel is equal to the volume of the mixture plus the empty space:
The formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder is:
