Correct Answer: 5

Explanation

           Wine                         Water

            8L                              32L

            1                :               4

           20 %                           80% (original ratio)

           30 %                           70% (required ratio)

 

In  ths case, the percentage of water being reduced when the mixture is being replaced with wine.

 

so the ratio of left quantity to the initial quantity is 7:8

 

Therefore ,  7 8 = 1 - K 40

 

=> K = 5 Lit
