A Correct answer
Explanation

Initial: Milk = 55, Water = 11. New ratio 5:3 means for 55 parts milk, we need 33 parts water. Existing water is 11, so added water = 33 - 11 = 22 kg.

AI explanation

In the initial 66 kg of adulterated milk with a 5:1 ratio, the quantity of milk is 55 kg and the quantity of water is 11 kg. To change the ratio to 5:3 while keeping the 55 kg of milk constant, the required amount of water becomes 33 kg. The quantity of water to be added is the difference between the final and initial water, which is 33 minus 11, resulting in 22 kg.
