mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4 : 3 . if 8 liters of water is added to the mixture , the ratio becomes 4 : 5 . find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture .
"let the quantity of alcohol and water be 4 x litres and 3 x litres respectively 32 x = 4 ( 3 x + 5 ) 20 x = 20 x = 1 quantity of alcohol = ( 4 x 1 ) litres = 4 litres . answer : d"
multiply(divide(multiply(4, 5), subtract(multiply(8, 4), multiply(3, 4))), 4)
