Explanations
1. Water in sample = 5% of 10 = 0.5 litre
Milk in sample = 9.5 litres
Let x litre milk is added to the sample
9.5 + x = 98% (10 + x)
98
9.5 + x = (10 + x) 950 + 100x
100
= 980 + 98x x = 15

5. Cost Price = Rs.480
Selling Price = 55 Rs.12 = Rs.660
Profit = 660 480 = Rs.180

7. Required ratio = 40 : 55 = 8 : 11
8. Total number of students in 2010
= 5000 + 3000 = 8000
Total number of students in 2013
= 6000 + 5500 = 11500
