Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Total mixture $ =20L $ Ratio of milk and water $ =3:2 $

$ \therefore $ Quantity of milk $ =20\times \frac{3}{5}=12L $ Quantity of water $ =20\times \frac{2}{5}=8L $ When 10 L of mixture is removed, then milk removed $ =10\times \frac{3}{5}=6L $ and water removed $ =4L $ Now, ratio $ =\frac{12-6+10}{8-4}=\frac{16}{4}=\frac{4}{1} $ Again, from this mixture 10 L is removed Milk removed $ =\frac{4}{5}\times 10=8L $ and water removed $ =\frac{1}{5}\times 10=2L $ Hence, required ratio $ \frac{16-8+10}{4-2}=\frac{18}{2}=\frac{9}{1}=9:1 $
