The ratio of milk and water in a mixture is 4 : 3. If we add 2 litres of water, the ratio of milk and water becomes 8 : 7. What is the quantity of the final mixture?
Initially mixture is 4:3Â
After adding 2 lit water it becomes 8:7.....(1)
It means quantity of milk is remain unchanged and water is changed in mixtureÂ
4:3Â $$\times 2$$ (to equal the milk quantity )
= 8:6 .......(2)
Now milk ratio is same and water is changed after adding water
so difference in the ratio (8:7)-(8:6) = 0:1
1unit -> 2litÂ
Given that final mix. Ratio =8:7
 Milk =$$ 8\times 2$$= 16 litre
Water =Â $$ 7\times 2$$= 14 litre
Total= 16+14=30 litre
