    Solution

    Quantity of milk in 170 ml of mixture = 170 ├Ч 12/(12 + x) Quantity of water in 170 ml of mixture = 170 ├Ч x/(x + 12) According to question; {2040/(12 + x) + 40}/{170x/(x + 12) + 30} = 2/1 Or, 2040/(12 + x) + 40 = 340x/(x + 12) + 60 Or, (2040 тАУ 340x)/(x + 12) = 20 Or, 2040 тАУ 340x = 20x + 240 Or, 360x = 1800 Or, x = 5
