X = solution
X/5 = Alcohal

(X/5-1)/X = 18/100

X = 50 lts

I agree with 2010gmat. In 5 liters, there's one liter alcohol, so 20% minus one liter should be the 18% we need.

i think
let x be the capacity
alcohal - x/5
water - 4x/5
after taking 5 liter off
water - (4x/5)+5 ........(1)
alchoal - 18x/100 (18% given)........(2)
adding 1 n 2
x= 250

IMO : 50

Let there be X litres of the solution

Alcohol : x/5
Water : 4x/5

a:w = 1 : 4

After removing 5l

Alcohol : (x-5)/5
Water : 4(x-5)/5

Now 5 l of water added :
Water : (4(x-5)/5) + 5

Now,in the resulting solution
Water 18/100x = 9x/50
Alcohol : 41x/50

Hence ,
(4(x-5)/5) + 5 = 41x/50
Solving, x=50.

Can you please provide the OA?
