      water) is 40 litres less than the quantity of alcohol in it. Find the quantity of water to be mixed so that the quantity of alcohol in the mixture becomes 50% of the whole mixture.
      A 60 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 40 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 80 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Quantity of water in the mixture = (280 – 40)/2 = 120 litres So, Quantity of alcohol in the mixture = (280 – 120) = 160 litres Total quantity of the mixture = 160 x (100/50) = 320 litres Therefore, quantity of water to be mixed = 320 – 280 = 40 litres
