(C) 27.5%27.5% acid

Explanation:

In 11 liter of 40%40% acid we have 40/10040100 liter of acid, so in 1515 liter of 40%40% acid, we will have

40/100xx15=600/100=640100×15=600100=6 liters of acid.

Similarly, in 11 liter of 20%20% acid we have 20/10020100 liter of acid, so in 2525 liter of 20%20% acid, we will have

20/100xx25=500/100=520100×25=500100=5 liters of acid.

Therefore in 15+25=4015+25=40 liters of mix, we have 6+5=116+5=11 liters of acid

and in 11 liter, we have 11/401140 liters of acid i.e.

11/40xx100=11xx2.5=27.5%1140×100=11×2.5=27.5% acid and answer is (C)(C)
