400 grams of sugar solution has 40% sugar in it. How much sugar should be added to make it 50% in the solution?

60 gm

70 gm

80 gm

90 gm

40% of 400= 160 gm
remaining=240. This remaining quantity will remain constant as only sugar is to be added.

For sugar to be 50% , the quantity of sugar should be equal to 240
hence more to be added=240-160=80

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
