Correct Answer - Option 1 : 1
∶ 1
Given:
The ratio of milk and water be 2x and x and total amount of mixture is 15 liters
Calculation:
Let the amount of milk and water be 2x and x
According to the question, we have
2x + x = 15 liters
⇒ 3x = 15 liters
⇒ x = 5 liters
So, the amount of milk = 2x = (2 × 5) liters = 10 liters
And, amount of water = x = 5 liters
Now, 5 liters of water is further added to the mixture
So, total amount of water = (5 + 5) liters = 10 liters
Then, the ratio of milk and water = 10 ∶ 10 = 1 ∶ 1
∴ The required ratio be 1 ∶ 1.
