Answer : 2. "50 gm"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 50 gm Explanation: Initial quantity of copper =80100 x 50 = 40 g  And that of Bronze = 50 - 40 = 10 g Let 'p' gm of copper is added to the mixture => 50 + p x 90100 = 40 + p => 45 + 0.9p = 40 + p => p = 50 g Hence, 50 gms of copper is added to the mixture, so that the copper is increased to 90%.
