Solution

The correct option is A 1 : 3
Mixture quantity=100 L
Ratio of milk and water=3:1
then milk in mixture= $\frac{3}{4} \times 100 = 75 L$
Water in mixture= $100 - 75 = 25 L$
200 L water is added to the mixture then quantity of water in new mixture= $200 + 25 = 225$
Ratio of milk and water in new mixture= $75 : 225$
$3 : 9$
$1 : 3$
