Two mixtures M1 and M2 contain mixture of two types of pulses P1 and P2. M1 and M2 contain P1 and P2 in the ratio of 4 : 5 and 8 : 3 respectively. M1 and M2 are mixed to form a third mixture. Now the ratio of P1 : P2 becomes 8 : 5 in the resultant mixture. Find the amount of pulses P2 in the M2, if the resultant quantity is 364 kg of pulses.

A receptacle is filled with a mixture of two liquids L1 and L2 in the ratio of 7 : 5. Due to poor handling, 9 litres of mixture fell from the receptacle and the volume was made up with L2, thus the ratio of the both liquids in the mixture becomes 7 : 9. Find the initial quantity of L1 in the mixture.
