      B 150 ltr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 160 ltr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 168 ltr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Orange : water 4x : x Total = 5 x 75 litre of mixture taken out, Orange = 4x/5x × 75 = 60 Orange in mixture = 4x – 60 Water in mixture = x/5x × 75 = 15 Water = (x – 15) + 25 = x + 10 According to the question, (x+10)/(4x-60) = 40/60 6x + 60 = 16x – 240 10x = 300 ∴ x = 30 Initial quantity of mixture = 4x + x = 5x Initial quantity of mixture = 5 × 30 = 150 litres
