      Question

      In a mixture of 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water

      is 2 : 1. If this ratio is to be 1 : 2, then the quantity of water to be further added is:
      A 60 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 72 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 48 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 58 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Original: Milk = (2/3) × 60 = 40 L. Water = (1/3) × 60 = 20 L. New Ratio = 1 : 2. Milk stays constant at 40 L. So, 1 part = 40 L. 2 parts (New Water) = 80 L. Water added = New Water - Old Water = 80 - 20 = 60 litres.
