    C 32 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of soda in 154 litres of mixture = (6/11) × 154 = 84 litres Quantity of water in 154 litres of mixture = (5/11) × 154 = 70 litres According to question, Water remains same till the end of the process, So final quantity of soda in the mixture = 70 × (9/5) = 126 litres Quantity of soda to be added = 126 – 84 = 42 litres
