    C 23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, After removal of 90 litres of mixture, Let the initial quantity of water be '100b' litres. Initial quantity of salt = 0.4 × 100b = '40b' litres. ATQ, 100b - 40b = 30 Or, 60b = 30 Or, 'b' = 30/60 = 0.5 Therefore, final quantity of water = 100b + 20 = 100 × 0.5 + 20 = 50 + 20 = 70 litres
