    A 222 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (150 + P)/4P = 5/8
    1200 + 8P = 20P
    P = 100 liters
    And, (100 + Q)/(250 + Q) = 4/7
    700 + 7Q = 1000 + 4Q
    3Q = 300
    Q= 100 liters
    Required sum = 200
