Math Problem Statement
How much water should be added to 60 liters of milk at 1 liters a rupee so as to have a mixture worth 1 liters a rupee?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to determine how much water should be added to 60 liters of milk, initially priced at 1 rupee per liter, to create a mixture where the price per liter remains 1 rupee.
However, since the initial price of the milk is already 1 rupee per liter and the water has no cost (because it's free in this scenario), no water should be added to maintain the price of 1 rupee per liter for the entire mixture. If water is added, it would reduce the overall value of the mixture, which is not the requirement here.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- No water should be added to the 60 liters of milk to maintain a price of 1 rupee per liter.
