Correct Answer: 112.5 litres
Solution : The initial volume of the mixture = 150 litres, of which 30% is milk. The volume of milk in the mixture is = 150 ×$ \frac{30}{100}$ = 45 litres The volume of water in the mixture is = 150 – 45 = 105 litres To make the percentage of water 40%, the volume of milk has to be 60% So, Volume of water in the mixture having 40% of water = 105 litres Total volume of such a mixture = $\frac{105}{40}\times 100=262.5$ litres So, we need to add 262.5 – 150 = 112.5 litres of Milk to make the percentage of water in the mixture 40% Hence, the correct answer is 112.5 litres.
