In a mixture 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water 2:1. If this ratio is to be 1:2, then the quanity of water to be further added is
Answer: 60
Explanation
Quantity of milk =(60×32) litres =40 litres
Quantity of water in it =(60−40) litres =20 litres
New ratio =1:2
Let the quantity of water to be added further be x litres
Then milk : water =(20+x40)
Now, (20+x40)=21
=> 20+x=80
=> x=60
Quantity of water in it =(60−40) litres =20 litres
=> 20+x=80
=> x=60
