ATQ, Initial quantity of honey in the mixture = 240 × (3/8) = 90 litres Initial quantity of milk in the mixture = 240 – 90 = 150 litres Statement I: Total quantity of new mixture = 90 ÷ 0.25 = 360 litres Total quantity of milk in the new mixture = 360 × 75% = 270 litres So, quantity of milk to be added = 270 – 150 = 120 litres So, Statement I is true. Statement II: Total quantity of new mixture = 90 ÷ 0.2 = 450 litres Total quantity of milk in the new mixture = 450 × 0.8 = 360 litres So, quantity of milk to be added = 360 – 150 = 210 litres So, Statement II is true. Statement III: Total quantity of new mixture = 90 ÷ 0.3 = 300 litres Total quantity of milk in the new mixture = 300 × 0.7 = 210 litres So, quantity of milk to be added = 210 – 150 = 60 litres So, Statement III is true.
