Given that water and Dettol ratio is 5:1 and the mixture is 36 liters.

So, volume of Dettol

We have, Volume of water

According to given questions:

Let “x” liters of Dettol be added.

Ratio of measurement of water and Dettol is 3:1

So,

⇒ 30 = 3(6+x)

⇒ 18 + 3x = 30

⇒ 3x = 30-18

⇒ 3x = 12

⇒ x = 4

So, 4 liters Dettol should be added to mixture.
