    Solution

    ATQ, Quantity of juice in the mixture = L × 70% = 0.70l litres Quantity of water in the mixture = L × 30% = 0.30l litres Quantity of juice in 100 litres of mixture = 100 × 70% = 70 litres Quantity of water in 100 litres of mixture = 100 × 30% = 30 litres According to the question, (0.7L – 70) = (0.30L – 30 + 40) × (140/100) Or, 70L – 7000 = 42L + 1400 Or, 28L = 8400 Or, L = 300
