Solution 1

Sure, let's solve this step by step:

  1. The initial ratio of milk to water is 5:6. This means that in the 66 liter mixture, the quantity of milk is (5/11)*66 = 30 liters and the quantity of water is (6/11)*66 = 36 liters.

  2. Now, 12 liters of milk and 6 liters of water are added. So, the new quantity of milk is 30 + 12 = 42 liters and the new quantity of water is 36 + 6 = 42 liters.

  3. Therefore, the new ratio of milk to water is 42:42, which simplifies to 1:1.

So, none of the provided options are correct. The correct answer should be 1:1.

Solution 2

The initial ratio of milk to water is 5:6. This means that in the 66 liter mixture, there are 5x liters of milk and 6x liters of water.

To find the value of x, we can set up the equation 5x + 6x = 66. Solving for x gives us x = 6.

So, initially there are 30 liters of milk (56) and 36 liters of water (66) in the mixture.

If we add 12 liters of milk and 6 liters of water, the new amounts are 42 liters of milk and 42 liters of water.

Therefore, the new ratio of milk to water is 42:42, which simplifies to 1:1.

However, this option is not given in the question. There might be a mistake in the question or the options provided.
