  • ASolution A
  • BSolution B
  • CBoth have equal concentration
  • DCannot be determined
Explanation

For solution A: Mass of solute = 50g, Mass of solution = 50g + 150g = 200g. Concentration = (50/200)*100 = 25%. For solution B: Mass of solute = 20g, Mass of solution = 20g + 180g = 200g. Concentration = (20/200)*100 = 10%. Thus, Solution A has a higher concentration.
