4x +8 / 5x = 6/5
as given 4 is milk n water is 5..n additional milk added of 8 litre so we take 4x n 5 x
20x + 40 = 30 x
30x-20x = 40
10 x =40
x = 4
4x :5x ...put value of x in equation
4*4+5*4 = 16 + 20 = 36 +8 =44
or u can put the same value in anather ration then also u will get same ans
6*4+5*4 = 24+20 = 44
hope u understnd
