Question

A Jar contains 200 liters of Milk a thief stole &lsquo;X&rsquo; liters of Milk and replaced it with water. Next, he stole 40 liters of Milk and replaced it with water. Again he stole 50 liters of Milk and replaced with water. If the quantity of water in the final mixture is 92 liters. Then what is the value of X?a)10 Literb)15 Literc)20 Literd)30 Litere)50 LiterCorrect answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer

50 liters of milk from the jar. How much milk is left in the jar?

There are two ways to approach this problem:

Method 1: Subtraction
To find the amount of milk left in the jar, we can simply subtract the amount stolen from the total amount:
200 - 50 = 150 liters
Therefore, there are 150 liters of milk left in the jar.

Method 2: Proportion
We can also use proportions to find the amount of milk left in the jar. Let x be the amount of milk left in the jar. Then we can set up a proportion:
200/100 = x/50
This proportion states that the initial amount of milk (200 liters) is 100% of the jar, and the stolen amount (50 liters) is 50% of the jar. We can solve for x by cross-multiplying:
200 * 50 = 100 * x
10,000 = 100x
x = 100 liters
Therefore, there are 100 liters of milk left in the jar.
