Percentage of milk in these mixtures will be 35%, 80%, 25% and 55%.

Percentage of milk in jar C and D are 25% and 55% and that of water are 75% and 45%;

Let total quantities in two jars be C and D;

According to the question;

0.75C – 0.55D = 21.6

0.25C + 0.45D = 189.6

Solving both the equations;

C = 240 litres and D = 288 litres

Let z litres water is mixed in jar D to get a new mixture containing 36% milk and 64% water;

∴ 288 × 0.45 + z = (288 + z) × 0.64

⇒ 0.36z = 288 × 0.19

⇒ 0.36z = 54.72

⇒ z = 152 litres

∴ 152 litres water should be mixed in jar D to get a new mixture containing 36% milk
