[ "1.5 liters", "2.5 liters", "3.5 liters", "4.5 liters" ]
B
solution a = 50 % solution solution b = 30 % solution 30 % - 45 % = 15 % solution b 50 % - 45 % = 5 % solution a so the ratio is 3 : 1 for 30 % : 50 % solutions 3 / 4 * 10 liter = 7.5 for 30 % solution and 2.5 for 50 % solution . . answer : b
