Given:
$\begin{align*} Ca(HCO_3)_2&=162\\ CaCl_2&=22.2\\ MgCl_2&=95\\ NaCl&=20 \end{align*}$
Solution:
$\text{Equivalents of Calcium Carbonate}=\dfrac{\text{Mass of hardness producing substance}\times50} {\text{Chemical equivalent of hardness producing substance}}$
1.
$Ca(HCO_3)_2=\dfrac{162\times 50}{162.11}=49.966\ mg/L$
2.
$CaCl_2=\dfrac{22.2\times 50}{110.98}=10\ mg/L$
3.
$MgCl_2=\dfrac{95\times 50}{95.21}=49.889\ mg/L$
4.
$NaCl=\dfrac{20 \times 50}{40}=25\ mg/L$
$\begin{align*} \text{Total Hardness}&=49.97+10+49.89+25\\ &=134.86\ mg/L \end{align*}$
