Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : 600

Given:

In a solution of alcohol and  water having 40% alcohol, 220 litres of alcohol is further added such that the quanitiy of alcohol in the final solution is now 20 litres more than the quantity of

water.
Formula:

Final percentage of a quantity X = (Initial volume of X + added amount of X)/(Initial total volume + added amount)

Calculation:

Let the initial quantity of soluiton be x litres.

Quantity of alcohol = 0.4x

Quantity of water = 0.6x

After 220 litres of alcohol is added,

0.4x + 220 = 20 + 0.6x

⇒ 0.2x = 200

⇒ x = 1000

Quantity of water = 0.6x = 600 litres.
