      D 15 L Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Given: A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 3 : 5. If the total quantity is 40 litres. Solution: Total parts = (3 + 5 = 8) Total quantity = 40 litres To make the ratio 1 : 1, milk must equal water. Water remains 25 L, so milk should also be 25 L. Milk to be added: 25 - 15 = 10 L So, 10 L milk should be added to make the ratio 1 : 1. Thus, correct option is (b).
