In 90 liters of mixture,
Amount of water=$$frac{90 imes30}{100}$$.
=27 liters.
Amount of milk=$$frac{90 imes70}{100}$$.
=63 liters.
Similarly, in 18 liters of mixture,
Amount of water=$$frac{18 imes30}{100}$$.
=5.4 liters.
Amount of milk=$$frac{18 imes70}{100}$$.
=12.6 liters.
After removing 18 liters of solution,
Amount of water=27-5.4=21.6 liters.
Amount of milk=63-12.6=50.4 liters.
After adding 18 liters of water,
Amount of water in the solution=21.6+18=39.6 liters.
Hence, Percentage of milk in solution=$$frac{50.4}{50.4+39.6} imes 100$$.
=56%.
Hence, Option E is correct.
