उत्तर
Quantity of milk = ` 60 xx 11/15 = 44` litres
Quantity of water in it= 60-44 = 16 litres
New ratio= 11:6
Let quantity of water to be added further be x litres.
Then, milk : water = `44/(16 + "x")`
Now ,
`44/(16 + "x") = 11/6`
⇒ 264 = 176 + 11x
⇒ 11x = 88
⇒ x = 8
Therefore, 8 litres of water need to be added further.

A doctor reports blood pressure in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) as a ratio of systolic blood pressure to diastolic blood pressure (such as 140 over 80). Systolic pressure is measured when the heart beats, and diastolic pressure is measured when it rests. Refer to the table of blood pressure ranges for adults.
| Blood Pressure Ranges | |||
| Normal | Prehypertension | Hypertension (Very High) |
|
| Systolic | Under 120 mm Hg | 120-139 mm Hg | 140 mm Hg and above |
| Diastolic | Under 80 mm Hg | 80-89 mm Hg | 90 mm Hg and above |
