    Solution

    ATQ,

    Initial quantity of water in container 'P' = 180 × (3/5) = 108 litres Initial quantity of soda in container 'P' = 180 − 108 = 72 litres Quantity of water moved to container 'Q' = 0.25 × 108 = 27 litres Quantity of soda moved to container 'Q' = 0.25 × 72 = 18 litres Quantity of water in container 'Q' = 27 + 19 = 46 litres Quantity of soda in container 'Q' = 18 litres ATQ, Quantity of soda in resultant mixture = (remaining soda in 'P') + (soda returned from 'Q') = (72 × 0.75) + (0.5 × 18) = 54 + 9 = 63 litres
