Dear student,

let A=tank containing Amul milk 130L and S=tank containing Sudha milk 180L now suppose x L milk from A and S is drawn after mixing milk as per the condition, it gives same proportion of Amul milk in both the tanksin A proportion of Amul milk=(130-x)130in S proportion of Amul milk=(x)180solve this for x  (130-x)130=x180⇒180(130-x)=130x⇒23400-180x=130x⇒23400=130x+180x⇒23400=310x⇒x=23400310⇒x=75
