In a 48 ltr mixture, the ratio of milk and water is 5:3. How much water should be added in the mixture so as the ratio will become 3:5 ?

24 ltrs

16 ltrs

32 ltrs

8 ltrs

Given mixture = 48 lit

Milk in it = 48 x 5/8 = 30 lit

= Water in it = 48 - 30 = 18 lit

Let 'L' lit of water is added to make the ratio as 3:5

= 30/(18+L) = 3/5

= 150 = 54 + 3L

= L = 32 lit.

Hence, otpion 3 is the correct answer.
