Initial milk = (5/7)*28 = 20 L. Initial water = (2/7)*28 = 8 L. Let x liters of water be added. 20 / (8 + x) = 2 / 5. 100 = 16 + 2x => 2x = 84 => x = 42 liters.

Two numbers are in the ratio 7 : 11. If 7 is added to each of the numbers, the ratio becomes 2 : 3. Find the smaller number.
Let the number of coins be x, 2x, and 3x. Value in paise: 50x + 25(2x) + 10(3x) = 50x + 50x + 30x = 130x paise. Total amount = 650 paise. 130x = 650 => x = 5. Number of 10 paise coins = 3x = 3 * 5 = 15. Wait, 130x = 650 => x=5. 3x=15. Let me re-read: Option b is 15. Oh, I put option d. Let me correct the correct_option to 'b' for 15.

A sum of money is divided among A, B, and C in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. If C gets Rs. 1500 more than A, find the total sum.
Difference in ratio parts of C and A is 5 - 2 = 3 parts. 3 parts = 1500, so 1 part = 500. Total parts = 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 parts. Total sum = 10 * 500 = Rs. 5000.
