    B 9 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the quantity of ethanol that must be added in the mixture be 'p' litres. ATQ: 0.4 X 180 + p = 0.75 X 0.6 X 180 Or, 72 + p = 81 So, 'p' = 9 Therefore, quantity of ethanol that must be added = 9 litres
