Alligation or Mixture (Quant Aptitude)- A mixture comprises water and liquids A and B. The volume of water is 1/3rd of the total mixture and the volume of liquids A and B are in the ratio 5:3. To remove the water, the mixture is passed through a porous medium which completely absorbs the water and partially absorbs liquid A. Altogether this porous medium absorbs 200 ml of the initial mixture. If the ratio of volume of liquids A and B in the residual concentrated mixture becomes 7:9 then find the volume of water absorbed by the porous medium. (A) 60 ml
(B) 200/3 ml
(C) 80 ml
(D) 100 ml
(E) 120 ml
This question was asked in 2018 XAT (Xavier Aptitude Test) conducted by XLRI - Xavier School of Management.
