Quant 3rd Question

Asked by Krishna Reddy on 2026-07-04 in CAT Prep

In the Quants 3rd question it is asked how much concentrate should be added such that the drum has exactly 50 percent concentrate, now the answer is An additional 33 Litres to add so that concentrate and water both are equal to 57 L, but isnt the drum limited to 81 Litres, then in that case wont the total volume exceed 81 litres?

You are missing out the point that, the drum isn't fixed in volume, no where did they mention that the drum has fixed volume of 81 lit

I TRY TO CLEAR YOUR DOUBT FIRST THERE IS NO ANYTHING IS WRITTEN LIKE DRUM MAX LIMIT OR DRUM IS FULL AND IN THE END WHEN QUESTION ASK TO SAME RATIO THERE IS NO ANYTHING MENTION THAT YOU NEED POUR WATER FROM IT THAT S WHY WE ADD 33L NOT 16.5
