Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 100/6%.
Initial Mixture:
Total volume: 5 liters
Milk volume: 4/5 * 5 liters = 4 liters
Water volume: 5 liters - 4 liters = 1 liter
After Adding Milk:
Total volume: 5 liters + 1 liter = 6 liters
Milk volume: 4 liters + 1 liter = 5 liters
Water volume: 1 liter (remains unchanged)
Percentage of Water:
Percentage of water = (Water volume / Total volume) × 100%
Percentage of water = (1 liter / 6 liters) × 100% ≈ 16.67%
Therefore, the percentage of water in the final mixture is approximately 16.67%.
