Explanation & Answer

Let solution A = A litres, 13% alcohol, used 4 times

Let solution B = B litres, 10% alcohol, 

Clearly since solution A is 4 times to that of B solution hence, solution A will be 4B litres


13% of 4B + 10% of B = 124

52/100 B + 1/10 B = 124

53 / 100 B = 124

B = 12400/53

B = 234 mili litres

She used 234 mili litres of Alcohol B.
