Bhavin Panchal · Answer

Let Milk be 3x litres
Water be x litres.  As the ratio is 3:1

According to conditions 5L water is added,
So Water becomes x+5.

So 3x/x+5 = 2/1.       x= 10.
We took milk as 3x= 3(10) = 30

Sanchit Ghai · Answer

3x / (x+5) = 2/1
on solving x = 10
So the milk qty is 3x = 3*10 = 30 litres
