Detailed Solution

Concept- Red pigment should be mixed with 1800mL of base 24.
For the second part of this question, we can use the unitary method since any specific value corresponds to some other value, so that can be changed to a unit value corresponding to what value, effectively allowing us to multiply with the unit value with the number of times specified by the question. As both values are dependent and increasing, we can use the concept of direct proportion to solve this question.
Given, one component of red pigments and eight parts of base are combined to create a paint mixture.
Let y1 represent the basic amount that has 4 parts of red pigment added to it.
The base quantity must increase since the proportion of red pigment is growing.
As a result, it is obvious that they both directly relate to one another.
Given that they are inversely proportional,
Question ImageQuestion ImageQuestion ImageIn order to use the 4 parts of red pigment, 32 mL of base was added.
Let y2 be the base quantity after 7 parts of red pigment have been applied.
Since base and pigment have a direct relationship,
Question ImageTherefore, 56 mL of base was supplied after using 7 parts of red pigment.
Let y3 represent the base's addition after 12 parts of red pigment.
Since base and pigment have a direct relationship,
So,
Question ImageSo, Question Image The base was added when the 12 parts of red pigment were used.
Let Question Image, be the amount of base added with 20 parts of red pigment.
Since, both base and pigment are in direct proportion.
So,
Question ImageQuestion ImageQuestion ImageQuestion ImageQuestion ImageQuestion ImageAs a result, when 20 parts of red pigment were employed,Question Image  a mathrm mL of base was added.
Consequently, the table will look like this:,
Question ImageIf 1 part of a red pigment requires Question Image of base,
Use unitary method,
Question Image the base uses 1 part of a red pigment.
Question Image of base uses Question Image part of a red pigment.
So,
Question Image of base uses Question Image part of a red pigment, that is equal to 24 parts.
Hence, the correct option is 24.
