There is a bit ambiguity in sentence viz. the 20% of ( total solution OR pure milk ) is water ?
if i consider it as percentage of total solution then
suppose total solution is X litre
now X * 0.8 = 2 litre
hence , X is 2.5 litre.
so total income is 2.5*24= Rs 60
also total cost of milk was 36.
so gain is{ ( 60 - 36 )/ 36 } * 100 = 66.67 %
