Pure milk costs ₹80 per litre. A milkman adds water to 24 litres of pure milk and sells the mixture at ₹60 per litre without extra gain or loss. How many litres of water does he add?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Cost of the milk =24×80=1920=24\times80=1920. Since there is no gain or loss, the sale value is also 1920, so the mixture is 192060=32\frac{1920}{60}=32 litres. Water added =32−24=8=32-24=8 litres.
