A student used a constant immersion hydrometer to determine the concentration of hydrochloric acid. A test tube of weight 50   gf with 10 lead shots each of weight 5 g floats in water to a mark x on it. To keep the test tube float at the same mark in the HCl solution, he added 2 lead shots into it. Determine the volume percentage of the solution.

(Given density of pure water is 1g cm^{-3} and density of HCl is 1.18 g cm^{-3})

Volume percentage  =\frac{\text { volume of solute }}{\text { volulme of solution }} \times 100
