In a mixture of 35 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 4:1. If 7 litres of water is added to the mixture, the ratio of milk and water of the new mixture will be

1:2
4:5
5:4

Correct Answer: 2:1

Ratio of milk andwater = 4:1

Quantity of water = 35/5 = 7 litres

New ratio of milk and water = 28:14 = 2:1
