In a mixture of 45 litres the ratio of milk to water is 4:1. Additional 12 litres of water is added to the mixture. Find the ratio of milk to water in the resulting mixture.
Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 12/7
B) 4/1
C) 2/3
D) 3/4
E) 3/2
Given that Milk/Water=4x/x and 4x+x=45 --&gt; x=9.   Thus Milk=4x=36 liters and Water=x=9 liters.   New ratio = 36/(9+12) = 36/21 = 12/7.   12/7nswer: 12/7.
