Let the common multiple of the ratio be “x”
Therefore, according to given condition,
7x + 2x = 729
Therefore,
9x = 729
i.e x = 81.
Therefore, 2x = 162 ml
In the new mixture, amount of water should be 3x
i.e 243ml
Therefore amount of water to be added is, “x” ml
Therefore, 81ml of water must be added to the current mixture.
