Question

In a mixture of 25 litres, the ratio of milk to
water is 4:1. Another 3 litres of water is added
to the mixture, then the ratio of milk to water
in the new mixture is:
(a) 2:4
(b) 3:4
(d) 5:3 (c) 5:2​

Answer 1

Answer:

5:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let water x, and milk 4x

Then:

4x+x =5x= 25

x=5

Milk=20 litre

Water= 5 litre

After adding 3 litre water:

Ratio: 20/5+3

=20/8

=5/2

= 5:2
