Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer:
None of these
Explanation:
Amount of Milk in 16 litres of mixture: (5/8) x 16 = 10 litres
Amount of Water in 16 litres of mixture: 16-10 = 6 litres
If we add 4 litres of water and extract 4 litres of milk,
the total volume remains the same.
Amount of Milk in 16 litres of new mixture: = 10 – 4 = 6 litres
Amount of Water in 16 litres of new mixture: = 6 + 4 = 10 litres
So, the new ratio becomes 3:5.
