    A 246 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 256 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 236 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (600 + P)/4P = 3/4
    600 + P = 3P
    P = 300 liters
    And, (300 + Q)/(900 + Q) = 4/9
    2700 + 9Q = 3600 + 4Q
    Q = 180 liters
    Required sum = 480 liters
