Answer:
The correct answer would be option A.
25 percent solution of lemon juice means that 25 parts out of 100 are of the lemon juice in a solution.
If we add 15 milliliters of distilled water to 5 milliliters of pure lemon juice then the total amount of solution would be 20 milliliters.
Hence, the concentration of lemon juice would be equal to [tex]\frac{5}{20}\times100[/tex] ⇒ 25 percent.
Thus, option A would be the correct answer.
