A 20 liter mixture of milk and water is in the ratio 3:2.If 10 liter of the mixture is removed and replaced with pure milk.This operation is repeated once again.At the end of two removal and replacement what is the ratio of milk and water in the resultant mixture?

• 9:1 is the ratio of milk and water in the resultant mixture.
  
  
  20 liter of milk and water is in the ratio 3:2.
  
  That means, milk = 12liters and water = 8liters.
  
  If 10 liter of the mixture(3:2) is removed and replaced with pure milk means, We remove 6liters of milk and 4liters of water.
  
  Remaining = 6liters of milk + 4liters of water.
  
  On that 10liters pure milk is added. So now,
  
  Mixture contains = (6+10)liters of milk + 4liters of water [Now, Ratio = 4:1]
  
  Again we removed 10litres mixture in 4:1 ratio means,
  
  Remaining = 8liters of milk + 2liters of water.
  
  Again 10liter pure milk is added on that, so now
  
  Mixture contains = (8+10)liters of milk + 2liters of water [Now, Ratio = 9:1]
