Correct Answer: 6 : 5
Solution : The mixture has a ratio of milk to water of 3 : 1, which means for every 3 parts of milk, there is 1 part of water ⇒ Total number of parts is 3 (milk) + 1 (water) = 4 ⇒ Value of 1 part in volume of 8 litres = $\frac{8}{4}$ = 2 litres So, volume of Milk = 3 parts × 2 litres = 6 litres and volume of Water = 1 part × 2 litres = 2 litres After adding 3 litres of water ⇒ Volume of water = 2 litres + 3 litres = 5 litres So, the new ratio of milk to water = 6 : 5 Hence, the correct answer is 6 : 5.
