    A mixture of salt and water has a ratio of 2:1. After

    adding 8 liters of water, the amount of salt becomes 12 liters more than the amount of water. What was the initial quantity of salt in the mixture?
    A 50 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30 liters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;
    Before 8 liters of water was added,
    Salt − water = 12 + 8 = 20 liters
    and Salt : water = 2 : 1
    Salt = 20 × 2/(2−1) = 40 liters
