1. 86 liters of 35% salt solution should be added to 20 liters of an 70% salt solution so that the resulting solution contains 45% salt solution .

   For given question,

   Let x be the quantity ( in liters ) of 35 percent salt solution added to 20 liters of an 70 percent salt solution so that the resulting solution contains 45 percent salt,

   Thus,

   Quantity of salt solution in 20 liters + Quantity of salt solution in x

   = Quantity of salt solution in resultant mixture.

   ⇒ 70% of 20 + 35% of x = 45% of (20 + x )

   ⇒ 14 + (0.35x) = 0.45 × ( 12 + x )

   ⇒ 14 + 0.35x = 5.4 + 0.45x

   ⇒ 14 – 5.4 = 0.45x – 0.35x

   ⇒ 8.6 = 0.10x

   ⇒ x = 86 liters

   Therefore, 86 liters of 35% salt solution should be added to 20 liters of an 70% salt solution so that the resulting solution contains 45% salt solution .
