20 litres of tomato juice will account for 18 litres of water(90%) 2 litres(10%) of pure tomato.
now,if we consider the tomato pure obtained from this it will contain 2 litres of pure tomato(80%) and rest water(20%).
A number that gives 2 as its 80% is 2.5. so, it will produce 2.5 litres of tomato pure.

Ans is 2.4
20 liter of juice contain 2 litre of tomato.
now in puree there is 20% water and 80% tomato.
Therefore dilute 2 litre of tomato with 20% water which will give 2.4 litre of tomato puree.
