One litre of water is evaporated from a 6 litre solution containing 4% sugar. The percentage of sugar in the remaining solution is:

• Sugar solution = 6 litres
  concentration of sugar is 4% which is about 0.24
  
  since 1 litre water has evaporated still same amount of sugar will remain in the solutions of 5 litre
  so concentration now is 0.24 / 5 = 4.8 %
  
  Answer for 1 is (c) 4.8 %
  
  in the same approach
  salt % = 150g of salt in 75% of water remaining
  150/7.5 = 2 %

• 4.8% sugar

• (6*4)/100=6/25
  so (5*X)//100=6/25
  so x=4.8%

• At first solution contains 5.76lt water and .24lt of sugar, after 1lt water evaporated the percentage of sugar in solution is (.24÷5)×100=4.8%
