The bucket contains 5 litres of milk. Rajesh removes 20% of the milk that is 1 litre of milk and adds 2 litres of water

The solution present now in the bucket is 4 litres of milk and 2 litres of water

Mahesh removes 40% of this solution, that is 1.6 litres of milk and 0.8 litres of water and he adds 4 litres of soya sauce

The solution present now in the bucket is 2.4 litres of milk and 1.2 litres of water and 4 litres of soya sauce and their ratio will be 6 ? 3 ? 10 respectively

Now Ramesh removes 30% of this solution but does not replace it with any other solution

Thus, the final ratio of this liquids won’t change after this operation

∴ Required Ratio of milk, soya sauce and water in the bucket = 6 ? 10 ? 3
