Detailed Solution
Given:
25 liters are drawn from a vessel full of wine and is then filled with water. This operation is
performed one more time.
The ratio of the quantity of wine now left in the vessel to that of the water is 36 : 85.
Concept used:
Wine left = Initial amount of wine x {1 laced quantity/Initial quantity of wine)]", where n is
the number of times the wine is aaa
Calculation:
Let the initial quantity of wine be y litres
Amount of wine left = y x (1 - 25/y)2
Ratio of wine left to initial quantity of wine = y x (1 - 25/y)?/y = (1 - 25/y)*
= 36/(36 + 85) = (1 - 25/y)
= 36/121 = (6/11)? = (1 - 25/y)?
= 6/11=1-25/y
On Solving, y = 55 liters
+. 55 litres
