Salt Water Solution =4 litre
Salt water solution after spilling out = 4-1.5 = 2.5 litre
Salt in the solution = 2.5*15% = (3/8)
As previously when the water spills out solution remained was 2.5 litre now 2.5 litre more water is added to fill the jug Now percentage of salt in 5 litre solution = ((3/8)/5)*100 = 7.5 %

Salt in 4 lts = 4*15/100 = 0.6lts
Salt in 1.5 lts = 1.5*15/100 = 0.225lts
Salt remaining = 0.6-0.225=0.375 lts
percentage of resulting solution : 0.375 lts * 100/5lts jug = 7.5%

Salt in Jug = 4 * 15/100 = 0.6

After 1.5ltr Spitting out from Jug = 4-1.5= 2.5ltr

Now Salt in 2.5 ltr = 2.5*15/100 = 3/8ltr

Percentage of Salt Solution in the jug = (3/8)/5 * 100 = 7 . 5 % Ans

Jug capacity - 5litre
At Beginning Jug contains - 4litre (Salt(15%) +Water(85%))
1.5litre spills out - 2.5litre remaining (Salt(15%) + Water(85%))
after filling remaining place in Jug with water - 5litre (water(185%) + salt (15%))
lets assume 200 % = water(185%) + Salt (15%)
then 100% = water(92.5%) + Salt (7.5%)
So Salt is 7.5%.

from 10 taps four are used for outlet then six for filling the tank
from these 6, four taps filling is neutral to four outlet
finally only two taps are for filling the tank so it takes 150 min
