Correct answer: A. 1 : 5
Explanation
Water costs nothing, so the whole gain comes from the water sold at the price of milk. Taking 100 litres of milk, a 20% gain needs 20 litres of water, giving water : milk = 20 : 100 = 1 : 5.पानी का कोई मूल्य नहीं लगता, इसलिए पूरा लाभ दूध के भाव बेचे गए पानी से ही आता है। 100 लीटर दूध लें तो 20% लाभ के लिए 20 लीटर पानी चाहिए, अर्थात् पानी : दूध = 20 : 100 = 1 : 5।More Mathematics & Numerical Ability questions
