In a mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%. If in 60 gm of mixture 15 gm water was added, what would be the percentage of water ? (Weight in gm)

A 80%

B70%

C75%

D 62%

Nithin ? undefined

Correct answer is: 80%
Explanation:

Water in 60 gm mixture= \(60 \times \frac{75}{100}\) = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm.

After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm.

So % of water = \(100 \times \frac{60}{75}\) = 80%
