Answer : 1. "2 lit"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 2 lit Explanation: Quantity of fruit juice in the mixture = 70 - [70 x (10/100) ]= 63 litres.   After adding water, juice would form 87.5% of the mixture.   Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, [(87.5) /100 ]*x = 63 => x = 72    Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added.
