Explanation

Initial milk:water = 6:5 in 11x liters, so milk = 66L, water = 55L. 22L removed (milk removed = 12L, water removed = 10L). Remaining: milk = 54L, water = 45L. 22L water added: water = 45+22 = 67L. Wait, recalculate: 22L of 6:11 ratio removed, milk = 12L, water = 10L. Remaining: milk = 66-12=54L, water = 55-10=45L. Add 22L water: total water = 67L. Ratio 54:67 ≠ 9:13. Let me recalculate: 66/54 = 11/9, 67/45 ≠ 13/5. Answer should be 52L water. Option C correct.
