  • Question
  • A mixture of 150 liters of Petrol and Diesel contains 20% Diesel. How much more Diesel should be added so that Diesel becomes 25% of the new mixture?


  • Options
  • A. 20 liter
  • B. 5 liter
  • C. 10 liter
  • D. 35 liter

  • Correct Answer
  • 10 liter 

    Explanation

    Let us assume P liters of Diesel added to the mixture so that Diesel will be 25% in the new mixture.
    According to Question,
    Quantity of Diesel in 150 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 150 x 20/100 = 30 liters.
    After adding P liters of Diesel, The total quantity of Diesel becomes (30 + P) and total volume of mixture will be (150 + P).
    Again According to Question,
    After adding the P liters of Diesel in the mixture, the Diesel quantity becomes 25% of the new mixture.
    Quantity of Diesel in new mixture = 25% of Total mixture.
    ? (30 + P) = (150 + P) x 25 %
    ? 30 + P = (150 + P) x 25/100
    ? 30 + P = (150 + P) x 1/4
    ? 120 + 4P = 150 + P
    ? 4P - P = 150 - 120
    ? 3P = 30
    ? P = 10 liters.
