• C.P. of 1 litre of milk = Rs. (20 x 2/3) = Rs. 40/3c.p of 1 litre of milk c.p of 1 litre of milk 0 Rs.403 Mean price(Rs. 32 )3(40/3-32/3)=8/3 (32/3-0)=32/3
  ∴
  Ratio of water and milk =8 : 32 = 8 : 32 = 1 : 433
  ∴
  Quantity of water to be added to 60 litres of milk =
  [
  1/4 X 60
  ]
  litres =15 litre

• current cost price of milk Rs. 20(not 2, print mistake) for 1½.
  so price of 60= 60*20/1½==>800
  
  now assume x liters add than
  ==>(60+x)*10 2/3 = 800
  x = 14.9765
  so 15 liters of water is added.
