Solution

using $\frac{QNR final}{Total} = \frac{QNR initial}{Total}(1- \frac{quantity replaced}{total})^n$

here QNR is the quantity which is only removed in whole process and hence here it is milk and 'n' is the number of times the replacement process is repeated

So using the formula

$\frac{QNR final}{Total}$ = $\frac{81}{81}$ x $(1- \frac{27}{81})^2$

$\frac{QNR final}{Total}$ = 4/9

So after two replacement cycles the ratio of Milk : Water = 4:5
