Solution

The problem states that when a certain amount of salt is added to the water, the temperature drops by 3°C. Therefore, if twice as much salt is added, it can be inferred that the temperature would drop by twice as much, or 6°C.

The initial temperature of the water is 10°C. If the temperature drops by 6°C, the final temperature of the solution would be 10°C - 6°C = 4°C.

So, the final temperature of the solution would be 4°C.
