Answer:
78 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
Milk:Water = 3:1
Total mixture = 48 liters
∴Milk = (3/4)*48=36 liters
Water = (1/4)*48= 12 liters
Now let us suppose that x liter of water is added
∴Water = 12+x
As per the question
36/(12+x)= 2/5
⇒(12+x)*2=36*5
⇒24+2x=180
⇒2x=180-24
⇒2x=156
⇒x=156/2
⇒x=78
∴78 liters of water shoud be added
