If 80 litres of milk solution has 60% milk in it, then how much milk should be added to make milk 80% in the solution?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 80 litres

Initially Milk = 80 × 60% = 48 litres

and Water = 80 × 40% = 32 litres

Now, milk becomes 80% of the solution

then water remains as same as before, 20 % = 32 litres

80% = (32/20) × 80 = 128 litres

Hence, milk should be added = 128 - 48 = 80 litres
