Correct Answer: 102 litres
Solution : Given: In a 255-litre mixture of milk & water, the ratio of milk and water is $4:1$. Quantity of milk in mixture = $255\times\frac{4}{5}=204$ litres Quantity of water in mixture = $255\times\frac{1}{5}=51$ litres The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 4 : 3 Let the required amount of water be $x$ litres. According to the question, $\frac{204}{51+x}=\frac{4}{3}$ ⇒ $204+4x=612$ ⇒ $4x=408$ $\therefore x=102$ litres Hence, the correct answer is 102 litres.
