      C 132 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 138 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 144 litres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let initial quantity of water be ‘n’ litres. So,
      (84 + 36) : (n + 24) = 5 : 3 Or,
      120 : (n + 24) = 5 : 3 Or,
      n + 24 = 72 Or,
      n = 48 Therefore, required quantity of mixture
      = 84 + 48
      = 132 litres
