      Solution

      ATQ, Let the quantity of milk in the initial mixture be 'x' litres. Since, after the addition of 15 litres of water, the ratio of milk and water becomes 3:4, the quantity of water in the initial mixture will be (4/3)×x−15 litres. ATQ, Therefore, the quantity of milk in the mixture = x = 30 litres.
