Mixture and Alligation question:












4












$begingroup$



There is a Vessel holding 40 litres of milk. 4 litres of Milk is initially taken out from the Vessel and 4 litres of water is then poured in. After this 5 litres of mixtures of Mixture is replaced with six litres of water and finally six litres of Mixture is Replaced with the six litres of water. How Much Milk is there is in the Vessel?




I have tried:



Initally Vessel containing 40 litres of Milk :



4 litres out means -> 36 litres



4 litres of water is poured in - > 4 litres



so Now total quantity is 40 litres



Mixture containing water and Milk in the ratio: 36:4 i.e 9:1



Again 5 litres of Mixture is replaced with the six litres of water



for that:



9x - 9/10*5 : x -1/10*5



Now the Ratio becomes:



90x - 45 : 10x -5 i.e 9x -9:2x -1



six litres of water is added



9x -9 :2x -5



again six litres of Mixture is replaced then



9x -9 - 9/10*6 : 2x -5 -9/10*6



that is



90x -144 :10x -84



after adding six litres of water again we got



90x -144 :10x -78



so Milk containing is



90x-144+10x -78 =41



100x -222 =41



100x = 263



x= 2.63



again substituting the value x=2.63 in 90x -144 then i am getting 92.7 milk



total itself 41 litres of Milk Please anyone guide me answer


what i am doing mistake please anyone guide me for the answer

Initial congifuration is $40$ litres of milk and no water, say $m=40$ and $w=0$.



Remove $4$ litres of milk and add $4$ litres of water: $m=36, w=4$.



The mixture is $36:4$ or $9:1$. $5$ litres of mixture contains $5times frac{9}{10}=frac 92$ litres of milk and $5times frac{1}{10}=frac 12$ litres of water.



Remove $5$ litres of mixture: $m=36-frac 92=frac{63}2, w=4-frac 12 = frac 72$.



Add $6$ litres water: $m=frac{63}2, w=frac 72+6=frac{19}2$.



The mixture is now $63:19$. $6$ litres of mixture contains $6times frac{63}{82}=frac{189}{41}$ litres of milk and $6times frac{19}{82}=frac{57}{41}$ litres of water.



Remove $6$ litres of mixture: $m=frac{63}2-frac{189}{41}=frac{2205}{82}, w=frac{19}2-frac{57}{41}=frac{665}{82}$.



Add $6$ litres of water: $m=2205/82, w=frac{665}{82}+6 = frac{1157}{82}$.



Final configuration: $frac{2205}{82}$ litres of milk (approx $26.9$) and $frac{1157}{82}$ litres of water (approx $14.1$).

    Think in the terms of %. In the first iteration, $10$% is removed, in the second iteration, $12.5$% is removed and in the third iteration, $15$% is removed. In all these iterations, the same percentage of milk will be removed, because you are removing milk and not adding it back.



    $40-10$%$=$$36$



    $36-12.5$%$=$$31.5$



    $31.5-15$%$=26.775$.



    Therefore, after the third iteration, milk will be 26.775 liters.

                      Ellipse (mathématiques)

                      Image
                      Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

                      Quarter-circle Tiles

                      Image
                      up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
