a 100 - litre mixture of milk and water contains 36 litres of milk . ' x ' litres of this mixture is removed and replaced with an equal quantum of water . if the process is repeated once , then the concentration of the milk stands reduced at 9 % . what is the value of x ?
"working formula . . . initial concentration * initial volume = final concentration * final volume . let x is the part removed from 100 lts . 36 % ( 1 - x / 100 ) ^ 2 = 9 % * 100 % ( 1 - x / 100 ) ^ 2 = 9 / 36 - - - - - - > ( 1 - x / 100 ) ^ 2 = ( 3 / 6 ) ^ 2 100 - x = 300 / 6 x = 50 ans e"
multiply(100, subtract(const_1, sqrt(divide(9, 36))))
