AI explanation

The initial mixture is 150 litres of milk and 30 litres of water, which is 180 litres total in a 5:1 ratio, so selling 30 litres removes 25 litres of milk and 5 litres of water. The remaining mixture has 125 litres of milk and 25 litres of water, and after adding milk and water in a 5:6 ratio, the milk quantity returns to 150 litres. Because the added mixture provides 25 litres of milk (150 minus 125), the corresponding amount of water added is (6/5) * 25 = 30 litres.
