To transform a 60-liters mixture with a milk-to-water ration of 2 : 1 into a 1 : 2 ratio, how much water should be added?
(a) 60 liters
(b) 50 liters
(c) 40 liters
(d) 30 liters
To prepare the mixed solution in the ratio 1:2, the quantity of water should be twice the quantity of milk. If the quantity of milk is 40 L, then the quantity of water required will be 80 L. As there are already 20 L of water, 60 L of water needs to be added. Final answer: 60 liters.
