A solution, of volume $40$ litres, has dye and water in the proportion $2: 3$. Water is added to the solution to change this proportion to $2: 5$. If one-fourths of this diluted solution is taken out, how many litres of dye must be added to the remaining solution to bring the proportion back to $2: 3$?

A jar contains a mixture of $175 \mathrm{ml}$ water and $700 \mathrm{ml}$ alcohol. Gopal takes out $10 \%$ of the mixture and substitutes it by water of the same amount. The process is repeated once again. The percentage of water in the mixture is now

The strength of a salt solution is $\mathrm{p} \%$ if $100 \mathrm{ml}$ of the solution contains $p$ grams of salt. Each of three vessels $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$ contains $500 \mathrm{ml}$ of salt solution of strengths $10 \%, 22 \%$, and $32 \%$, respectively. Now, $100 \mathrm{ml}$ of the solution in vessel A is transferred to vessel B. Then, $100 \mathrm{ml}$ of the solution in vessel $B$ is transferred to vessel $C$. Finally, $100 \mathrm{ml}$ of the solution in vessel $C$ is transferred to vessel $A$. The strength, in percentage, of the resulting solution in vessel $A$ is
