Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

there is milk and water is in ratio of 4:1

then let milk is 4y and water is 1y

total mixture is 5y

half is taken then left 5y-5y/2=5y/2

milk and water left in ratio of 4:1

then  milk left= 4/5*5y/2=2y

        water left= 1/5*5y/2=1y/2

24 lit water added then resulant is same

now 2y=1y/2+24

3y=48

y=16

then total mixture is 5y=5*16=80

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

original mixture= (24*2(4+1))/(4-1)

                          =80
