let quantity be 2x 5x
2x + 130/5x +50 = 3/5
10x +650 = 15x +150
10x-15x = 150-650
-5x = -500
x = 100
quantity of acid in solution = 2×100 = 200ml
quantity of water in solution = 5×100 = 500ml
2x + 130/5x +50 = 3/5
10x +650 = 15x +150
10x-15x = 150-650
-5x = -500
x = 100
quantity of acid in solution = 2×100 = 200ml
quantity of water in solution = 5×100 = 500ml
