Answer :
Answer:
30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.
Explanation:
Let volume of the 40% acid solution be x.
Let volume of the 60% acid solution be y.
Volume of solution formed after mixing both solution = 40 L
x + y = 40 L..[1]
Volume of acid 40% solution = 40% of x= 0.4x
Volume of acid 60% solution = 60% of y= 0.6y
Volume of acid formed = 45% of 40 L = [tex]\frac{45}{100}\times 40=18L[/tex]
[tex]0.4x+0.6y=18 L[/tex]..[2]
Solving [1] and [2]
x = 30 L , y = 10 L
30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.
