Quantity of lead in 50 kg of alloy = 60% of 50 kg = kg = 30 kg.
Let the required quantity of lead to be added be x kg.
Then, weight of lead = (30 + x) kg.
And, weight of new alloy = (50 + x) kg.
Percentage of lead in new alloy = %
∴
⇒
⇒
⇒ 4(30 + x) = 3(50 + x)
⇒ 120 + 4x = 150 + 3x
⇒ 4x - 3x = 150 - 120
⇒ x = 30
∴ quantity of lead to be added = 30 kg.
