A solution is 60% alcohol. If 200ml of the solution is used, how much pure alcohol is present?

  • A. 100ml
  • B. 120ml
  • C. 140ml
  • D. 160ml
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: If the solution is 60% alcohol, it means that 60% of the solution is alcohol. Therefore, in 200ml of the solution, the amount of alcohol present is: 200ml * 60% = 200ml * 0.60 = 120ml. So, when 200ml of the solution is used, there are 120ml of pure alcohol present. Choice A, 100ml, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct percentage of alcohol in the solution. Choice C, 140ml, and Choice D, 160ml, are incorrect as they overestimate the amount of pure alcohol present in the solution.
