If 5 litres of normal water is added to 1 litre of solution having Strength of salt as 60 gm/litre, then now 6 litres of solution will have having Strength of salt as 60 gm/ 6 litres or 10 gm/litre. If 5 litres of normal water is added to 5 litre of solution having Strength of salt as 60 gm/litre, then new strength of salt will be 30 gm/litre.
