The ratio of milk and water in 66 liters of mixture is 5 : 1. If water is added to the mixture to make the ratio of milk to water 5 : 3, what is the quantity of water added ?

A. 20 liters
B. 22 liters
C. 24 liters
D. 25 liters
E. 30 liters

Ratio of Water initially = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
Quantity of mixture initially = 66
Average ratio of water (after mixing water) = 3/8

Using weighted average formula :-

\(\frac{1-\frac{3}{8}}{66}\) = \(\frac{\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{6}}{x}\)

Solving for x we get x = 22 ltrs.

Answer - B

A. 20 liters
B. 22 liters
C. 24 liters
D. 25 liters
E. 30 liters
As Volume of the milk is not going to change
66*5/6=5/8*(66+x)
88=66+x
x=22
