To a sugar solution of 4 liters containing 30% sugar, . . .
30% of 4 liters = 1.2 liters
So, the ORIGINAL solution contains 1.2 liters of sugar
. . . one liter of water is added.
So, the NEW volume = 5 liters
Included in the 5 liters is the original 1.2 liters of sugar
The percentage of sugar in the NEW solution is
1.2/5 = 2.4/10 = 24/100 = 24%
So, the NEW contains 24% sugar
Answer: D
