    Question

    A 120-litre solution of salt and water contains 25% salt. If 30 litres of water are added, what is the new percentage of salt in the solution?

    A.

    20%

    B.

    22%

    C.

    24%

    D.

    25%

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Initial volume of solution = 120 litres
    Initial percentage of salt = 25%
    Volume of water added = 30 litres
    Formula Used:
    Percentage = (Part ÷ Total) × 100
    Solution:
    Find the volume of salt in the initial solution:
    25100×120=30\frac{25}{100} × 120 = 30​​
    Calculate the new total volume of the solution after adding 30 litres of water:
    120 + 30 = 150
    Calculate the new percentage of salt in the mixture:
    30150×100=20%\frac{30}{150} × 100 = 20\%​​
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (a)
