Given,

$V_1 = 10,000\ litres$

$V_2 = 5000\ litres$

$m = 1170\ mg = 1.17\ gm$

$We\ have\ to\ calculate\ the\ required\ hardness.$

$\implies Hardness (H) = \frac{50 \times m \times V_2 \times 10^3}{58.5 \times V_1}$

$\implies Hardness (H) = \frac{50 \times 1.17 \times 5000 \times 10^3}{58.5 \times 10,000} = 500\ ppm$

$\implies \therefore\ Hardness (H) = 500\ ppm\ Ans.$
