      A 52 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 62 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Milk = (3/5) × 600 = 360 ml

      Water = 600 – 360 = 240 ml

      ATQ:

      (360 + x)/(240 + x) = 7/5

      ⇒ 5(360 + x) = 7(240 + x)

      ⇒ 1800 + 5x = 1680 + 7x

      ⇒ 2x = 120

      ⇒ x = 60
