Let the quantity of water initially be 3x.
⇒ Milk = 8x
⇒

3x+3

8x

=

1

2

⇒ 6x + 6 = 8x
⇒ x = 3
⇒ The quantities of milk in the mixture initially = 8x = 24 litres
⇒ The quantities of water in the mixture initially = 3x = 9 litres
∴ The quantities of milk and water respectively in the mixture initially are 24 litres and 9 litres.
