    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of milk in the initial mixture = 140 × 0.30 = 42 litres Quantity of water in the initial mixture = 140 – 42 = 98 litres Quantity of water is unchanged in the final mixture. So, Quantity of final mixture = (98/25) × 100 = 392 litres Quantity of milk in final mixture = 392 – 98 = 294 litres Value of ‘x’ = 294 – 42 = 252
