Explanation:

Solution:
Suppose the vessel initially contains 8 litres of liquid.
Let x litres of this liquid be replaced with water.
water in new mixture =(3-3x/8+x)
syrup in new mixture =(5-5x/8)
Then (3-3x/8+x) = (5-5x/8)
5x + 24 = 40 – 5x
10x=16==>x=8/5
So part of mixture replaced is 8/5*1/8=1/5
