      D 15 : 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the quantity of water in the mixture = x litres Then, quantity of milk in the mixture = (x + 14) litres According to the question, x + x + 14 = 50 2x = 36 x = 18 So, quantity of water = 18 litres Quantity of milk = 18 + 14 = 32 litres Now, 8 litres of water is added. New quantity of water = 18 + 8 = 26 litres Quantity of milk remains = 32 litres So, required ratio of milk to water = 32 : 26 = 16 : 13
