In a mixture of 25 litres, the ratio of milk to water is 4:1. Another 3 litres of water is added to the mixture. The ratio of milk to water in the new mixture is
Quantity of milk in a mixture of 25 litres = $$\frac{4}{5} \times 25=20$$ litres
Quantity of water in a mixture of 25 litres = $$25-20=5$$ litres
After adding 3 litres of water, quantity of water = $$5+3=8$$ litres
$$\therefore$$ Required ratio of milk and water = $$\frac{20}{8}$$
= 5Â : 2
