Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

option A So first we will calculate the amount of NaCl in the first solution: w(NaCl) = m(NaCl)/ m(solution) 40% = m(NaCl)/ 120g 40/100 = m(NaCl)/ 120g m(NaCl) = 120×40/ 100 m(NaCl) = 48g After this we will calculate the amount of NaCl in the second solution: w(NaCl) = m(NaCl)/ m(solution) 15% = m(NaCl)/ 200g 15/100 = m(NaCl)/ 200g m(NaCl) = 15×200/ 100 m(NaCl) = 30g Now when we now the amounts of sodium chloride in each of the solutions, we can say that the final solution will be 320 (120+200)g containing 78(48+30)g of sodium chloride. To find the mass percent of NaCl in this final solution, we will use the formula, we used above: w(NaCl) = m(NaCl)/ m(solution) w(NaCl) = 78g/ 320g w(NaCl) = 0.24375 w(NaCl) = 24.375% w(NaCl) = 24.4% So the mass percent of sodium chloride in the final solution is 24.4%
