      Quantity of milk in container R = 0.30 ├Ч 110 = 33 litres Quantity of water in container R = 0.50 ├Ч 70 = 35 litres Let x litres of water is added to the container R. According to the question, 33/(35 + x) = 3/4 Or, 132 = 105 + 3x Or, 3x = 27 Or, x = 9 Therefore, water added to container R = 9 litres
