Let there be 4x milk and x water initially. Now 5 litre of mixture is removed, 4 of it will be milk and 1 will be water.
So the new ratio would be (4x - 4)/(x + 14). Now we can use the same concept again and then equate it to the given ratio of 55:45 i.e 11:9.
Hence we can find the value of x.
Hope that helps.
