    C 800 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 126 ml Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ; Initial quantity of milk = 0.6 × 800 = 480 ml Initial quantity of honey = 0.4 × 800 = 320 ml According to the question, {(480 + x)/(320 + 2x)} = 9/10 Or, 4800 + 10x = 2880 + 18x Or, 8x = 1920 Or, x = 240 Resultant quantity of honey = 320 + 2x = 320 + 480 = 800 ml
