A 20 litre mixture of milk and water contains milk and water in the ratio 3 2 10 litres of the mixtu...........

Explanation:

The 20 litre mixture contains milk and water in the ratio of 3 : 2. Therefore, the mixture contains 12 litres of milk and 8 litres of water.

Step 1. When 10 litres of the mixture is removed, 6 litres of milk is removed and 4 litres of water is removed.
Therefore, there will be 6 litres of milk and 4 litres of water left in the container.
It is then replaced with pure milk of 10 litres. Now the container will have 16 litres of milk and 4 litres of water.

Step 2. When 10 litres of the new mixture is removed, 8 litres of milk and 2 litres of water is removed.
The container will have 8 litres of milk and 2 litres of water in it.
Now 10 litres of pure milk is added. Therefore, the container will have 18 litres of milk and 2 litres of water in it at the end of the second step.

Therefore, the ratio of milk and water is 18 : 2 or 9 : 1.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
