Answer:
water added = 1L
Step-by-step explanation:
cost price= 4×12 = 48Rs
profit = 17Rs
selling price = CP+ PROFIT = 48+17 = 65Rs
now he sell the mixture at Rs 13/L
=> TOTAL quantity of mixture sold= total amount÷ amount for per litre
=> total quantity = 65 ÷ 13 = 5L
also , total quantity of mixture= quantity of milk + quantity of water
=> 5L = 4L + quantity of water
=> quantity of water= 5-4 = 1L
