A Correct answer
Explanation

Initial: 150 liters, 7:3 ratio. Lemon = 105, Sugar = 45. Removing 30 liters (7:3 ratio) removes 21 liters lemon and 9 liters sugar. Remaining: Lemon = 105 - 21 = 84, Sugar = 45 - 9 = 36.

AI explanation

The remaining mixture volume is 150 litres minus 30 litres, which equals 120 litres. The ratio of lemon to sugar syrup remains 7:3 in the remaining mixture. The quantity of lemon is (7/10)*120 = 84 litres and the quantity of sugar syrup is (3/10)*120 = 36 litres.
