the answer is 32.........
X = amount of the 18% solution
y = amount of the 40% solution
we know the 18% solution has only 18% of alcohol, the rest is maybe water or something, now, how many liters is 18%? well, 18% of anything is just (18/100) * anything, so, 18% of x is just (18/100) *x or 0.18x, and that's how many liters are there.
likewise, how many liters are there in the 40% solution? well, (40/100) * y, or 0.4y, that many.
we know the mixture has to yield 10 liters at 20% alcohol, how many liters of only alcohol is that? well, (20/100) * 10, or 2 liters.


how much of the 40% solution? well y = 10 - x
A unit rate will always end up having one as its denominator so divide 305 by 5 which is 61 rotations/1 minute.
the initial statement is:

and then:

So the second statement is false because f should be multiply by e, not by d so is option C)
