    D 24% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initial quantity of milk in the mixture = 400 × 4/5 = 320 litres Initial quantity of water in the mixture = 400 × 1/5 = 80 litres 20 litres mixture contains 16 litres milk and 4 litres water. So the quantity of water in the resultant mixture = 80 – 4 + 20 = 96 litres Percentage of water in the resultant mixture = 96/400 × 100 = 24%
