C Correct answer
Explanation

Total mixture = 200L. Water:Milk = 3:7. 25% of 200L = 50L. In 50L, water = (3/10) * 50 = 15L. After adding 10L of water, total water = 15 + 10 = 25L.

AI explanation

The mixture has a total volume of 200 liters, and taking out 25% means 50 liters are transferred to the second vessel. In this 50 liters, the ratio of water to milk is 3:7, so the amount of water is 3 divided by 10, multiplied by 50, equaling 15 liters. Since an additional 10 liters of water is added to this vessel, the total quantity of water is 15 plus 10, resulting in 25 liters.
