Explanation: Total milk in mixture = 384 × 32 = 180 liters Total water in mixture = 384 × 32 = 204 𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 ATQ – 180 − 𝑋 ×15 32 +(𝑋−14) 204−𝑋 ×17 32+(𝑋−34) = 180 − 𝑋 × 15 32 + (𝑋−14) = 204 −𝑋 × 17 32 + (𝑋−34) 𝑋 16 = (24 −20) X = 64 liters Total final mixture = 180 – 64 × 32 + (64 −14) + 204 − 64 × 32 + (64 −34) = 200 + 200 = 400 liters Required percentage = 400 × 100 = 45%
