In a mixture of 60 litres the ratio of milk to water is 5:1. Additional 20 litres of water is added to the mixture. Find the ratio of milk to water in the resulting mixture. Choose one
A) 2:3  B) 5:3  C) 1:4  D) 3:2  E) 3:1
Given that Milk/Water=5x/x and 5x+x=60 --&gt; x=10.   Thus Milk=5x=50 liters and Water=x=10 liters.   New ratio = 50/(20+10) = 50/30 = 5/3.   Answer is 5:3
