When 4 liters are taken out of 20ml, amount of oil in remaining 16 lt = 3/8 * 16 = 6
Hence the remaining 10 litres would be kerosene
Now additional 4 litres of kerosene is added to the solution
So total quantity of kerosene = 14 litres
Ratio of oil:kerosene = 6/14 = 3/7

when we have 20 liter off solution in this oil=3 and kerosene=5 so total=8;
and suppose xliter=3/8*20=15/2;
and kerosene=5/8*20=25/2;
and then we add 4 liter off keroscene so we add 4liter keroscene to mixuer;
25/2+4=33/2;
but we also remove 4 liter from mixtuer.
so total is=15/2+33/2=48/2-4=20 liter.
so ratio is 15/2/33/2=5/11
