solution= acid =x ltr. watr= .5*x ltr
mixt=x+1.5x= 1.5x( acid :watr =2:1)
30 ltr mixture sold ie (30 ltr=20acid++10 watr)
left mixture= 1.5x-30(x ltr acid -20ltr acid + .5ltr watr-10ltr watr)
now 10 ltr acid added .so mixture=( (x-20 +10NEWADDED )acid+.(5ltr -10ltr) watr )
new ratio acid:watr =11:5
x-10/.5x-10 =11/5
solve and x=120.
