Detailed Solution

Initially  5% is the portion of  the water in the mixture, 95% is  the portion of the milk in the mixture.  So quantity of  water in litres = 0.5 and also quality of  milk in 10L=95100×10=9.5L

Let  x be the a variety of  pure milk to be added to the mixture to make water 2%.

0.59.5+x×100=0.29.8×1009.8×0.5=0.2(9.5+x)

x=15
