Correct Answer: 45%
Solution :
Amount of water in 6 litre of 40% alcohol = $\frac{60\:\times\:6}{100}$
= 3.6 litres
According to the statement,
8 litres of solution also contains 3.6 litres of water.
Therefore, % of water in solution = $\frac{3.6}{8}$ × 100
= 45%
So, 45% of water is present in the solution. Hence, the second option is correct.
