    Solution

    Suppose initial amount of mixture = 100 Milk = 100 × 4/5 = 80 litres Water = 100 – 80 = 20 litres Now, 20% of the mixture is taken out from the mixture, then Mixture taken out = 20/100 × 100 = 20 litres Milk taken out = 80 –4/5 × 20 = 64 litres Water taken out = 20 – 1/5 × 20 = 16 litres Let x amount of mixture added 16 + x – 64 – x ≡ 72 48 ≡ 72 1 ≡ 72/48 100 ≡ 150 litres
