    D)         40 kg

    E)  50 kg

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Alloy P - Lead : Tin\[=2:3\] \[\therefore \]      Tin\[=\frac{2}{5}\times 30=12\,\,kg\] Alloy Q - Tin : Copper = 1 : 4 \[\therefore \]      Tin\[=\frac{1}{5}\times 90=18\,\,kg\] Total amount of Tin in the new alloy \[=18+12=30\,\,kg\]
