Aman   10 years AGO

In a mixture of 60 litre, the ratio of milk and water is 2:1. means 40 ltr milk and 20 ltr water. If the ratio of the milk ( 40 ltr) and water ( ?) is to be 1:2, then the amount of water to be further added should be 40*2-20= 60 ltr.

BHANU KUMAR   10 years AGO

In 60 litres of milk and water, ratio is 2:1
so milk:water::40:20
required milk-water ratio is 1:2
let the amount of water mixed be x litres.

At 60 litres, when milk:water=2:1

Consider the mixture 60 litres the ratio 2:1 then the water and milk range is 40 liters and 20 liters(totally 60liters)

If the ratio is 1:2 we can add 60 liters of water

In 60 litres mixture if ratio of milk n water is 2:1 so
Milk=40 liter n water =20 liter

Let quantity of water to be added further be x litres ,

60 l of mixture with 2:1 will have 40 l milk and 20L water. But if the ratio is changed to 1:2 . Quantity of Milk will be 40 L.
:-1/3*x=40 X=120.
so 120-40=80 ans we have 20L so 60 L more tto be added

firstely we have a 60 Liter mixture..means n the ratio is 2:1, means 40 l milk and 20l water n new ratio is 1:2.. means if we add 60l water then water quantity is 20+60=80 l water and 40 l milk so ratio is 40:80 means 1:2

At first volume of milk and water are 40 and 20 Ltr respectively.. Now 20+60= 80 ltr is the new volume of water..so ratio becomes 40:80=1:2

in 60 litre , the milk and water are divided into 40 l and 20 l.hece to make milk and water in the ratio of 1:2 we should add 60 litres to water to make it 40:80 i.e 1:2

milk=(2/3)*60=40lit
water is 20lit
given if ratio of milk and water is 1:2
then
40/(20+x)=1/2
x=60
amount of water to be further added is 60 lit

sumit   10 years AGO

water+milk=60 & milk:water=2:1
hence milk=40ltr & water=20ltr
now req ratio milk/water=1/2
means water=2*milk=80 ltr
so required water =80-20=60 ltr ans...

milk:water=2:1 ; Where 60 liter divide into 3 parts
then 1 part=20 lit
So milk=40 ;water=20
After adding water ratio became milk:water=1:2
Now to become water ratio \'2\'. must add 60 lit of water.
then milk =40;water=80;
