    A 94 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 98 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let water = a
    Milk = 1.2a
    So, a + 1.2a = 2.2a = 220
    ⇒ a = 100
    Water = 100 litres, Milk = 120 litres
    Now, (120 + n + 6):(100 + n - 6) = 7:6
    ⇒ (126 + n):(94 + n) = 7:6
    ⇒ 6(126 + n) = 7(94 + n)
    ⇒ 756 + 6n = 658 + 7n
    ⇒ n = 98
