B 250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 256 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 236 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

(600 + P)/4P = 3/4
600 + P = 3P
P = 300 liters
And, (300 + Q)/(900 + Q) = 4/9
2700 + 9Q = 3600 + 4Q
Q = 180 liters
Required sum = 480 liters
