Solution

The correct option is B 40ml
Let the volume of ethyl alcohol (solute) be 'X' ml
Volume of water (solvent) = 100ml
Total volume of solution = 100 + X
Volume by volume(percentage) = $\frac{v o l u m e o f s o l u t e}{v o l u m e o f s o l u t i o n} \times 100$
Using above formula, we get X = 40ml
