A milkman had 60 litres pure milk. He sold 6 litres pure milk to Anand and mixed 6 litres water. He then sold 6 litres of the mixture to Bhima and mixed 6 litres water. Again he sold 6 litres mixture to Sima and added more 6 litres water. Now he sold 6 litre of the mixture to Rita and again mixed the same amount of water. Find the difference between quantity of pure milk received by Sima and that of Rita.
