Option 2 : Only B
Quantity of mixture = 300 + 100 = 400 litres
By option A:
When 120 litres of mixture is taken out
Quantity of milk = 300 – 3/4 × 120 = 210
Quantity of water = 100 – 1/4 × 120 = 70
40 litres of water is added, so quantity of water = 70 + 40 = 110
Ratio of milk to water = 210 : 110 = 21 : 11.
It does not satisfies.
By option B:
When 80 litres of mixture is taken out
Quantity of milk = 300 – 3/4 × 80 = 240
Quantity of water = 100 – 1/4 × 80 = 80
40 litres of water added, so quantity of water = 80 + 40 = 120
Ratio of milk to water = 240 : 120 = 2 : 1.
It satisfies the condition.
By option C:
When 80 litres of mixture is taken out
Quantity of milk = 300 – 3/4 × 80 = 240
Quantity of water = 100 – 1/4 × 80 = 80
20 litres of water is added, so quantity of water = 80 + 20 = 100
Ratio of milk to water = 240 : 100 = 12 : 5
It does not satisfy the condition.
By option D:
When 120 litres of mixture is taken out then quantity of milk = 300 – 3/4 × 120 = 210
Quantity of water = 100 – 1/4 × 120 = 70
When 40 litres of water is added, quantity of water = 70 + 40 = 110
Ratio of milk to water = 210 : 110 = 21 : 11
It does not satisfy the condition.
By option E:
When 100 litres of mixture is taken out then Quantity of milk = 300 – 3/4 × 100 = 225
Quantity of water = 100 – 1/4 × 100 = 75
When 40 litres of water is added, quantity of water = 75 + 40 = 115
Ratio of milk to water = 225 : 115 = 45 : 23.
It does not satisfy the condition.
