    C 115 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of water in the mixture = (350 – 22)/2 = 164 litres So, Quantity of alcohol in the mixture = (350 – 164) = 186 litres Total quantity of the mixture = 186 x (100/40) = 465 litres Therefore, quantity of water to be mixed = 465 – 350 = 115 litres
