A Correct answer
Explanation

Initial mixture: 100 L, ratio 3:1. Milk = 75 L, Water = 25 L. Add 200 L water: New water = 25 + 200 = 225 L. New ratio = 75 : 225 = 1 : 3.

AI explanation

In the initial 100 L mixture with a milk to water ratio of 3 to 1, the milk quantity is 3/4 of 100, which is 75 L, and the water is 25 L. After adding 200 L of water, the new total volume of water becomes 25 + 200 = 225 L. The new ratio of milk to water is 75 to 225, which simplifies to 1 to 3.
