Solution

Profit = 25% HENCE effective Cost Price = Selling Price *$\frac{8}{10}$ or Selling Price - 20%
Thus Effective Cost Price = Rs 12 per litre

(It can be said that the farmer is adding the MILK EQUIVALENT of Effective Cost Price and Water equivalent of Initial - Effective Cost Price)
RATIO = $\frac{Effective Cost Price}{Initial - Effective Cost Price}$

Ratio = $\frac{12}{4}$ = 3:1
