Answer : 4. "45 kg"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 45 kg Explanation: Let the ratio of initial quantity of oils be 'x' => 4x, 5x & 8x.Let k be the quantity of third variety of oil in the final mixture.Let the ratio of initial quantity of oils be 'y'From given details,4x + 5 = 5y ..... (1)5x + 10 = 7y .....(2)8x + k = 9y ......(3) By solving (1) & (2), we getx = 5 & y = 5 From (3) => k = 5 Therefore, quantity of third variety of oil was 9y = 9(5) = 45kg.

The chemical formula for water is H2O, which means each molecule of water consists of one oxygen atom chemically bonded to two hydrogen atoms. Thus, water is a compound.
