To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of dilution, which states that the concentration of a solution is proportional to the amount of solute (in this case, salt) present in the solution.The original mixture consists of 25% salt water, which means that 25% of the mixture is salt and the remaining 75% is water. After 20% of the mixture is drained, we are left with 80% of the original mixture.We can represent the original mixture as follows:25% salt + 75% water = 100% mixtureThe mixture that remains after 20% is drained is equal to 80% of the original mixture, or:25% salt + 75% water = 80% mixtureNow, we need to add 28 liters of water to this mixture. This means that the final mixture will be made up of 25% salt, 75% water from the original mixture, and 100% of the water we are adding, for a total of 200%.We can represent the final mixture as follows:25% salt + 75% water + 100% water = 200% mixtureTo find the final concentration of salt in the mixture, we need to divide the amount of salt by the total volume of the mixture and multiply by 100% to express the result as a percentage.The final concentration of salt in the mixture is:(25% / 200%) x 100% = 12.5%Therefore, the correct answer is (A) 21.
