water - w
syrup - m
for every liter of syrup each liter of water is required
total mixture = wm+m
selling price = j per liter
Therefore = j(wm+m)
cost price = k per liter
since water costs nothing total cost will be km
gross profit = selling price - cost price
=> j(wm+m) - km
=> jm(w+1) - km
Hence E is the answer.
