      D 200 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 40 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let milk = M, water = W Given: M + W = 420 W = M βˆ’ 60 So: M + (M βˆ’ 60) = 420 2M = 480 M = 240 litres W = 180 litres Now add x litres water. New milk = 240 New total = 420 + x Given milk becomes 40% of whole mixture: 240 = 40% of (420 + x) 240 = 0.40(420 + x) 240 = 168 + 0.40x 72 = 0.40x x = 180 litres
