Table notation

-----------------------Alcohol--------Water----------Total
Original solution-------5---------------5--------------10

Adding solution--------x---------------y--------------20

Final solution ----------6--------------24-------------30

so, x=6-5=1, y=24-5=19

(1/20)*100=5%

Differential method

x%-------20%--------50%

20-x/50-20=1/2

10=2x

x=5%

Weighted average

(0.5*10)+(x*20)/30=20/100=1/5

5+20x/30=1/5

100x=5

x=5/100=5%

Let the strength of 20ml be x.
Total alcohol in 10ml of mixture = 10*0.5 = 5ml

Since the resultant alcohol have 20% concentration,

20*x/100 + 5ml = (10+20)*.2
20x/100 = 1ml
x = 5%.

Thus, the correct option is B.
