Dear Mainak

volume of water is =m/1
volume of liquid is = m/2
after mixing   mass of the mixture = (2m)
after mixing volue of mixture =(m+.5m)=1.5m
so density =2m/1.5m
    = 4/3

water of density 4 kg/m3 and ice of density 2 kg/m3 are mixed together. if their masses are equal then the density of mixture is?

Density should be d = 2*d1*d2/(d1 +d2)
 = 2* 4*2/(4+2)
 = 16/6 = 8/3 kg/m³
