    A 34 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 44 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    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 70 litres of mixture, Let the initial quantity of water be '100c' litres. Initial quantity of sugar = 0.25 × 100c = '25c' litres. ATQ, 100c - 25c = 18 Or, 75c = 18 Or, 'c' = 18/75 = 0.24 Therefore, final quantity of water = 100c + 10 = 100 × 0.24 + 10 = 24 + 10 = 34 litres
