Answer 1

Answer:

C) 16 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Description for Correct answer:

when any quantity of mixture is taken out from the mixture then the ratio of the remaining mixture remains the same = 4 : 1

Now mixture is taken out and liquid B is added. So, make A proportion equal.

5 units = 10 ltr.

1 unit = 2 ltr.

Quantity of solution = 4 + 6

= 10 units

= 10×2 = 20 litres

Initial ratio of

A : B

4 : 1

4x + x = 20 ltr.

x = 4 ltr.

A = 4×4 = 16 ltr.

B = 4×1 = 4 ltr.
