In a mixture 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water 2 : 1. If this ratio is to be 1 : 2, then the quantity of water to be further added is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Quantity of milk = |  |
60 x | 2 |  litres = 40 litres. |
| 3 |
Quantity of water in it = (60- 40) litres = 20 litres.
New ratio = 1 : 2
Let quantity of water to be added further be x litres.
| Then, milk : water = | |
40 | |
. |
| 20 + x |
| Now, | |
40 | |
= | 1 |
| 20 + x | 2 |
20 + x = 80
x = 60.
Quantity of water to be added = 60 litres.

very simple way.
The ratio of milk and water :: 2:1
Total mixture of milk and water =60 lits
milk =2x
water=1x
=> lit of milk+lit of water=total lits.
=>2x+1x=60,
=>3x=60,
=>x=20.

2:1 ratio.
M:W
For milk: 2/3*60 = 40 lts milk.
For water: 60-40 = 20 lts water.
1:2 ratio.
M:W.
For water: 2/3*60 = 40 ltrs water.
What he is asked total water mixture i.e 20+40 = 60?
M:W

Total milk&water mixture is 60lit
milk&water ratio=2:1
separate milk =(2/3)*60 =40lit
water =(1/3)*60=20lit
new ratio is 1:2
only water added let x
=>(40/(20+x))=1:2
=>x=60lit
milk&water ratio=2:1
separate milk =(2/3)*60 =40lit
water =(1/3)*60=20lit
new ratio is 1:2
only water added let x
=>(40/(20+x))=1:2
=>x=60lit

Milk:Water = 40:20 = 2:1.
But we don't change milk we want to add water to change the ratio so 1:2 = 40:80 already 20liter is there so if we add 60ltr the ratio will come that's all.

Orginal mixture = 60l.
Milk: water = 2:1.
Milk = 60 * 2/3 = 40l.
Water = 60 * 1/3 = 20l.
New mixture ratio = 1:2.
40lmilk + (20+x)l water,
40:20 + x = 1:2,
20 + x = 80,
X = 60.
Milk: water = 2:1.
Milk = 60 * 2/3 = 40l.
Water = 60 * 1/3 = 20l.
New mixture ratio = 1:2.
40lmilk + (20+x)l water,
40:20 + x = 1:2,
20 + x = 80,
X = 60.

For water calculation of 1st ratio.
Water: 60 * 1/3=20 lit
For second ratio the water ratio will be 2/3
So water to be added: [20+(2/3) * 60]=60 lit.
That's the answer is 'D.
Water: 60 * 1/3=20 lit
For second ratio the water ratio will be 2/3
So water to be added: [20+(2/3) * 60]=60 lit.
That's the answer is 'D.

The first ratio is 1 : 3.
Quantity of water, 60 * 1/3 = 20,
Another ratio is 2 : 3.
Quantity of water, 60 * 2/3 = 40.
Quantity of water to be added = (20 + 40) = 60 litres.
Quantity of water, 60 * 1/3 = 20,
Another ratio is 2 : 3.
Quantity of water, 60 * 2/3 = 40.
Quantity of water to be added = (20 + 40) = 60 litres.

2:1 ratio of 60 litre is 40 litre milk and 20 litre water.
i.e 40:20
so to get the ratio 1:2 we should have 40:80
hence we have to add 80-20 (i.e 60) litre of water.

The initial quantity of milk=(2/3)*90 = 60,
Initial quantity of water=(1/3)*90 = 30,
If the ratio is to be 2:3 the water to be added;
(60÷(30+x)) = 2/3,
X = 60.
Initial quantity of water=(1/3)*90 = 30,
If the ratio is to be 2:3 the water to be added;
(60÷(30+x)) = 2/3,
X = 60.

The ratio of milk and water in 60L is;
m=2.
w=1 (2+1)=3,
milk = 2/3, water=1/3.
milk in 60L = 2/3 * 60= 40L.
water in 60L = 1/3 * 60= 20L,
40:(20+60)=4:8= 1:2.
m=2.
w=1 (2+1)=3,
milk = 2/3, water=1/3.
milk in 60L = 2/3 * 60= 40L.
water in 60L = 1/3 * 60= 20L,
40:(20+60)=4:8= 1:2.
