neutralised. 40 drops of liquid S require 32 drops of liquid R to neutralise
it. 30 drops of liquid P require 21 drops of liquid R to neutralise it. It is
observed that blue litmus paper turns red and red litmus paper remains as
it is in liquid R. Considering that each drop carries same amount of liquid,
which among the given liquids is the STRONGEST base?
