    Solution

    ATQ, Let the initial quantity of mixture X = 100x Amount of juice in the mixture = 75% of 100x = 75x The remaining 25x is water. Amount of juice in the another mixture = (40/4) × 1 = 10 litres Remaining 30 litres are water. It is given that, 25x + 30 = 80 25x = 50 x = 2 Total quantity of mixture X = 100x = 100(2) = 200 litres
