Answer»

Let ‘a’ be the number of litres of milk to be added. Given the ratio of milk and WATER before and after MIXING with milk as 3 : 2 and 4 : 1 respectively.

Equating the quantity of milk present in the INGREDIENTS to the FINAL mixture we have,

0.6 × 40 + a = 0.8 × (40 + a)

⇒ 0.2 × a = 0.2 × 40

⇒ a = 40

∴ Quantity of milk to be added is 40 litres.
