The ratio of milk to water is 5:1. After adding 12 liters of water, the ratio becomes 5:3. How much milk is there?

30 liters
20 liters
25 liters
None of these

Explanation

Let milk = 5x

Let water = x

Initial ratio milk : water = 5 : 1

After adding 12 liters water:

Milk = 5x

Water = x + 12

New ratio milk : water = 5 : 3

So,

5x / (x + 12) = 5 / 3

Cross multiply:

5x _ 3 = 5 _ (x + 12)

15x = 5x + 60

15x - 5x = 60

10x = 60

x = 6

Milk = 5x = 5 * 6 = 30 liters
