Answer / reddi pavana krishna
5 litre jug contains 4 litres of salt water solution
with 15% of salt, that means it has 4000*.15 = 600 ml salt
in it.
If 1.5 litres solution is spills out, remaining solution
is 2.5 litres, then the salf content is 2500*.15 = 375ml.
Now, the jug is filled to full capacity with water i.e.,
now the jug has 5 litre solution in it.
Now, the salt content is 375/5000 = 7.5%

Answer / vimal kaw
The jug contains 4lit of salt water(15% salt). when we
spill 1.5lit , the quantity in the jug becomes 2.5 lit (
the percentage of salt will remain same i.e 15% ):-
= {(15/100*4)/4}*2.5 = 0.375 Lit
when we fill the jug to full capacity, the percentage of
salt will be :
= (0.375/5)*100 = 7.5%
Ans = 7.5 % of salt
