A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 5:3. How much pure milk must be added to 24 liters of mixture to make the ratio 2:1?

The correct answer is D: 12 liters. In 24 liters: milk = 15 liters, water = 9 liters. Let x liters milk be added. New ratio: (15+x)/9 = 2/1. 15+x = 18. x = 3. Wait, recalculating: (15+x):9 = 2:1. 15+x = 18. x = 3. Let me verify the options. If ratio is 5:3 in 24L: milk = 15L, water = 9L. For 2:1 ratio with 9L water: milk should be 18L
