    B 20 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 80 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity of water in the mixture = (360 – 20)/2 = 170 litres So, Quantity of alcohol in the mixture = (360 – 170) = 190 litres Total quantity of the mixture = 190 x (100/50) = 380 litres Therefore, quantity of water to be mixed = 380 – 360 = 20 litres
