The buying price :
= 300 × 19 = Rs 5700
When 200 liters of water is added :
New amount = 300 + 200 = 500 litres
From this 400 is sold at 20 per litre.
The amount is :
400 × 20 = 8000
Rs 8000
Remaining :
500 - 400 = 100
She added 10 litres of water to this :
= 100 + 10 = 110
Total price = 110 × 15 = 1650
Selling price :
1650 + 8000 = 9650
Profit = Selling price - Buying price
Profit = 9650 - 5700 = 3950
= Rs 3950

in this case the cost of the milk man is 5700.
He sells 400 lts of the mixture of milk and water in a rate of rs 20/ lt.
So the profit here is (8000-5700) = 2300. again he adds 10 lts of milk.
So the total quantity becomes 110 lt. he sells it in rs 15/ lt. so it becomes rs 1650.
So his total profit is (2300 +1650)= 3950
