Let the volume of the initial total mixture was V. When 10L of mixture is removed the volume becomes (V - 10). The concentration stays 4:1.
Next step, when you add 10 litres of B, the amount of A does not change.
So
Amount of A in original mix = Amount of A in final mix
C1 * V1 = C2 * V2
(4/5)*(V - 10) = (2/5)*V
1 - 10/V = 1/2
V = 20
So volume of A in initial mixture was (4/5) * 20 = 16 litres
