Answer 1

Answer: 75 L

Step-by-step explanation:

75 L

Milk : water = 2 : 1

Milk = 2/3 * 75 = 50 L

Water = 25 L

Water to be added so that Milk : water = 1 : 2

1/3 * Total = 50 L    [the quantity of 'mil' remains constant]

Total = 50*3 = 150 L

Hence '75 L' of water is to be added to make the milk: water 1:2
