Question

In a mixture of 60 litter the ratio of milk to water is 2 : 1 if this ratio is to be 1 : 2 then the quantity of water to be further added is?

Answer 1

ratio of milk to water

milk : water = 2:1

but mixture is 60 liter

so dividing it in 2:1

milk : water = 40 : 20

but this ratio becomes 1:2 by adding water only

milk : water = 1 : 2

but milk is 40 liter

so

milk : water = 1 : 2 = 40 : 2 ×40 =80

milk : water = 40 : 80

but initially water is 20 liter


so another 60 liter of water to be added
