Think of it like this. For every 2 parts of water added, 3 parts of milk are added. So, if one part is denoted by 'x', then amount of water = 2x and amount of milk = 3x. Here, 'x' is known as the constant of ratio. So, you are given that 2x = 4. Therefore, x = 2. So, amount of milk = 3x = 3*2 = 6 litres
