Total volume = 21 litres

2/3 of a milk-water mixture was milk,

⇒ Volume of milk = 2/3 × 21 = 14 litres

⇒ Volume of water = 21 – 14 = 7 litres

4 litres of water is added to it,

⇒ New volume of water = 7 + 4 = 11 litres.

⇒ Total volume of mixture = 14 + 11 = 25

∴ Percentage of milk = 14/25 × 100 = 56%
