Given that:
ratio of Milk:Water is 4:3

We can assume original qty as 4x/3x ------(1)

Now it is given that post addition of 6 L water new ratio will become 8:7

and we can write 4:3 as 8:6

If you observe the old and new ratio of w:m
8:6 and 8:7
water has difference of 1 for addition of 6 L of water
and there is no change in milk
so 8*6 = 48
should be our answer: B
If you still don't get it try to solve in reverse once.
Substitute 48 in the ratio and see the magic

4x + 3x = 7x (original)
4x / (3x + 6) = 8/7
--> 4x (7) = 8 (3x+6)
--> 28x = 24x + 48
--> 4x = 48
--> x=12
4x (original) = x = 4(12)= 48
Therefore, answer is B
