    A 130 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 125 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 135 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 123 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of milk in the initial mixture = 155 × 0.42 = 65.1 litres Quantity of water in the initial mixture = 155 – 65.1 = 89.9 litres Quantity of water is unchanged in the final mixture. So, Quantity of final mixture = (89.9/31) × 100 = 290 litres Quantity of milk in final mixture = 290 – 89.9 = 200.1 litres Value of ‘x’ = 200.1 – 65.1 = 135
