Question Details

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:

Solution :

Step-by-step Explanation:

Step 1: Understand the initial ratio and volumes
Let the initial volume of the mixture in the vessel be V ml.
The initial ratio of milk to water in the vessel is 4:5.
When x ml of this mixture is sold, the ratio of milk to water in the remaining mixture (V-x) ml remains 4:5.

Therefore, in the remaining mixture:
Volume of milk =
49(V-x)
Volume of water =
59(V-x)

Step 2: Add pure milk and set up the ratio equation
When x ml of pure milk is added to the remaining mixture, the new quantities of milk and water become:
New volume of milk =
49(V-x)+x=4V-4x+9x9=4V+5x9
New volume of water =
59(V-x)

The final ratio of milk to water is given as 57:60 (which simplifies to 19:20). We can write:
4V+5x95(V-x)9=1920

Simplifying the fraction:
4V+5x5(V-x)=1920
Cross-multiplying by 5 on both sides gives:
4V+5xV-x=194

Solving for V and x:
4(4V+5x)=19(V-x)
16V+20x=19V-19x
39x=3V
V=13x

Step 3: Solve for the initial volume
We are given that the quantity sold (x) is 108 ml less than the initial quantity (V):
x=V-108

Substitute V=13x into the equation:
x=13x-108
12x=108
x=9 ml

So, the initial quantity of mixture in the vessel is:
V=13×9=117 cm3 (since 1 ml = 1 cm³).

Step 4: Find the total volume and height of the vessel
The vessel is filled with 117 cm³ of mixture, and 37 cm³ of the vessel remains empty.
Total volume capacity of the vessel =
117+37=154 cm3

The volume of a right circular cylinder is given by the formula:
Volume=πr2h

Given the radius r=0.7 cm and using π=227:
154=227×(0.7)2×h
154=227×0.49×h
154=22×0.07×h
154=1.54×h
h=1541.54=100 cm

Therefore, the height of the vessel is 100 cm.
