Solution

The correct option is C
11.11%

Mass of solute = 50g

Mass of solvent = 400g

Mass of solution = Mass of solute + mass of solvent = 50 + 400 = 450g

Mass percentage of solution = $\frac{m a s s o f s o l u t e}{m a s s o f s o l u t i o n} \times 100$ = $\frac{50}{450} \times 100$ = 11.11%
