    in the ratio 3:2, respectively. If 30% of the solution is replaced with water, what will be the new quantity of water in the mixture?
    A 72 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 54 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 66 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 87 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Quantity of solution = 150 litres

    Quantity of solution after 30% is removed = 150 – 45 = 105 litres

    Quantity of water in 105 litres solution = 105 × (2/5) = 42 litres

    Quantity of water in the new solution = 42 + 45 = 87 litres
