Question : 8 litres of water is added to 32 litres of a solution containing 20% alcohol in water. What is the approximate concentration of alcohol in the solution now?
Option 1: 24%
Option 2: 16%
Option 3: 8%
Option 4: 12%
Correct Answer: 16%
Solution : The quantity of solution is 32 litres. Amount of alcohol = $\frac{20}{100}$ × 32 = 6.4 litres When 10 litres of water is added to the solution, it becomes 32 + 8 = 40 litres $\therefore$ Percentage of alcohol in the new solution = $\frac{6.4}{40}$ × 100 = 16% Hence, the correct answer is 16%.
