    D 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, (p + 200 + 50)/(p + 110) = 5/3 (p + 250) × 3 = (p + 110) × 5 3p + 750 = 5p + 550 2p = 200 p = 100 Initial quantity of honey = 100 liters Initial quantity of mixture = 100 + 200 + 100 = 400 liters Required % = (100/400) × 100 = 25%
