  • Answer is option Abr / br /strongExplanation: /strongbr / br /If SP of mixture is 15/- per liter and profit is 25%, then br /CP of mixture = (100/125) * 15 = 12/- liter br /As 16/- is the cost of pure 1000 ml, therefore, for 12/-, the quantity of milk = br /(12/16) * 1000 = 750 ml br /So for 12/- per liter, the milk is 750 ml, then water will be 250 ml. br /Thus, required ratio = 750:250br /= 3:1
