    C 48 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 52 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the quantity of 'water' be 'n' litres. Quantity of 'milk' = '0.6n' litres So, n + 0.6n = 128 Or, 1.6n = 128 Or, 'n' = 80 Therefore, required quantity = 0.6 × 80 = 48 litres
