Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step:

  1. The initial mixture contains 7 litres of milk and water, with 30% of it being water. So, the amount of water in the mixture is 30/100 * 7 = 2.1 litres.

  2. The amount of milk in the initial mixture is 7 - 2.1 = 4.9 litres.

  3. Now, 3.5 litres of milk is added to the mixture. So, the total amount of milk in the new mixture is 4.9 + 3.5 = 8.4 litres.

  4. The total volume of the new mixture is 8.4 (milk) + 2.1 (water) = 10.5 litres.

  5. The percentage of water in the new mixture is (2.1/10.5) * 100 = 20%.

So, the correct option is 20.
