A milkman mixes 20L of water with 80L of milk. After selling one-fourth of this mixture, he adds water to replenish the quantity that he has sold. What is the current proportion of water to milk ?

• 20l of water
  80l of milk
  1/4 of 100l=25l
  that is 5 l of water and 20l of milk
  water left in mixture 15l
  milk left in mixture 60l
  he adds 25l of water again this gives us 15l+25l of water and 60l of milk
  40l:60l
  which is 2:3 the new ratio

• water=20l and milk=80 l
  
  total mixture=100 l
  
  ratio of water:milk=1:4
  
  ATQ, after selling 1/4 of 100l = 25l
  
  remaining mix =75l (water= 15l & milk =60l)
  
  he adds water to replenish the quantity he sold..so water added=25l
  
  therefore total water = (15+25)l =40l
  
  now , water:milk= 40:60
  
  ans: 2:3
