$4x, x$

$Total\: 5x$

$(9x-10)$

$4x-8/x-2+10 = 2/3$

$12x-24= 2x-16$

$10x=8$

$Or\: let \: A = 16 L$

$Then \: B = 4L$

$Total = 20 L$

$Now\: 10 L\: taken \: out = \frac{1}{2}\times 16$

$10 \: L \: remaining\: milk = 8 \: L \: taken$

$Water = 45/2 = 2L taken$

$Final = 8\: L\: milk$

$= 2L water$

$Now\: 10\: L \: added$

$8L, 12 L$

$So\: 8/12 = 2:3$

$A= 16$
