Q1 Now 70M and 30W means 55(M and W) solution.
Now ratio could be found out by

70M+30W=55(M+W) as the denominator is same for both the sides
Now ratio from this is M:W=5:3, From this 50lt and 30lt

Q2, let us take 100 gm of salt solution,

Now in that salt solution x gm of salt must be added to make it 40% solution from 20% solution, then

20+x/(100+x)=40/100=2/5

From this x=100/3=33.33gm for 100 gm of solution and it means 33.33%
