    Solution X contains 40% salt and 60% water by weights. Solution Y contains 25% salt and 75% water. If a mixture of X and Y contains 30% salt, what percent of the weight of this mixture is solution X?

    ক)
    10%
    খ)
    33.3%
    গ)
    40%
    ঘ)
    42.5%

    Explanation

    Let x g be the weight of solution X in 100 g of the mixture. Then, the weight of solution Y in 100 g of the mixture = (100 - x) g Mass of salt in the mixture : x (40%) + (100 - x) (25%) = 100 (30%) ⇒ 40x + 2500 - 25x = 3000 ⇒ 15x = 500 ⇒ x =  500/15 = 33.33 Hence, there are 33.33% of solution X in the mixture.
