• 83.33 %
  
  If at certain selling price ,initial quantity of milk sold= x
  Now to gain 20% keeping the selling price same, quantity of milk to be sold=x/ 1.2= 5x/6=0.8333x
  Which is 83.33% of milk and rest 16.66% of water in the mixture.

• letb 1litre cost Rs.10
  nw to get 20% profit,so Rs.12.
  he has to add 200ml of water to gain a profit of 20% I.e.selling at same price.
  
  now% of milk =(1000/1200)×100%=83.33%

  (6/5)*x *y/100=x
