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.
