Question: The ratio of milk and water in a solution is 7 : 4. After adding 8 liters of water, the ratio of milk and water becomes 3 : 2. Find the final amount of water in the solution.

Solution:
Let the initial amount of milk = 7x liters
Let the initial amount of water = 4x liters

According to the question,
7x/(4x + 8) = 3/2
2 × 7x = 3 × (4x + 8)
14x = 12x + 24
14x - 12x = 24
2x = 24
x = 12

Final amount of water = 4x + 8
= 4 × 12 + 8
= 48 + 8 = 56 liters
