    A 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 33 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 34 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let water = a, milk = 1.2a
    ⇒ 2.2a = 220 ⇒ a = 100, Milk = 120
    Now, (120 + n + 6):(100 + n - 6) = 5:4
    ⇒ (126 + n):(94 + n) = 5:4
    ⇒ 4(126 + n) = 5(94 + n)
    ⇒ 504 + 4n = 470 + 5n
    ⇒ n = 34
