in a mixture of 60lts the ratio of milk and water is 2:1.if the ratio of milk and water is to be 1:2.what is the amount of water(in lts) to be further added?

• in 60 ltr milk=(2/3)*60 =40 ltr
  water=(1/3)*60=20 ltr
  let x ltr be added
  40/(20+x)=1/2
  20+x=80
  x=60 ltr

• Ans 60 lts
  Original ratio(in lts) of milk:water=40:20
  For the ratio to become 1:2 ,water should be 80 lts
  So amount of water(in lts) to be further added=80-20= 60
