Correct Answer: 11


Solution : Given: Quantity of mixture = 55 litres
The ratio of fruit juice and water = 4 : 1
Let $x$ litres water be added to make the mixture ratio 2 : 1.
Initial quantity of fruit juice = $\frac{55}{5}×4=44$ litres
Initial quantity of water = $\frac{55}{5}×1=11$ litres
So, according to the question,
⇒ $\frac{44}{11+x}=\frac{2}{1}$
⇒ $22+2x=44$
⇒ $2x=22$
⇒ $x=11$ litre
Hence, the correct answer is 11.
