Detailed Solution

Water in 120 L rnixture =120×25100=30 L

Milk in 120 L mixture =12030=90 L

 Ratio of Milk and Water= 90 : 30 = 3 : 1

Milk in 20 L mixture =20×34=15 L

 Water in 20 L mixture= 20-15 = 5 L 

Water in final mixture= 30- 5 + 3.8 = 28.8 L 

Total final mixture= 120-20 + 16.2 + 3.8 = 120 L 

Hence, percentage of Water in the final mixture

=28.8120×100=24%
