**
the portion taken out will be in the ratio 5:3.
let the portion taken out be 'x'
so it is removed in the ratio 5:3
ie
5-(5/8)x and 3 - (3/8)x
since 'x' parts of water is again added, the eqn should be
5-(5/8)x = 3 -(3/8)x + x
=> 2= (5/4)x
hence x=8/5
INITIALLY WE HAVE ASSUMED THAT THEIR IS 8 UNITS SOLUTION SO PART REMOVED COMES OUT TO BE 8/5.
THEREFORE ACTUAL PART OF MIXTURE TAKEN OUT IS 8/5/8 = 1/5.
