    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Quantity of petrol in the original mixture = 150 × (4/5) = 120 liters Percentage of petrol in the new mixture = 100% - 25% = 75% Total quantity of mixture that contains 75% petrol = 120 ÷ 0.75 = 160 liters So, quantity of diesel to be added = 160 - 150 = 10 liters
