Correct Answer: 14 : 3


Solution : Given: A canister holds 36 litres of a mixture of milk and water in a ratio of 3 : 1.
Quantity of milk = $\frac{3}{4} × 36 = 27$
Quantity of water = $\frac{1}{4} × 36 = 9$
After adding 15 litres of milk,
$\therefore$ New ratio $=(27 + 15):9 = 42:9 = 14:3$
Hence, the correct answer is 14 : 3.
