let a have 900*X volume so b,s volume = 600*X And c,s volume is 300*X
given if 300 liter of b,s volume is given to c then b is 50%more then c
then
(b,s volume - 300) = (1 + 50/100 ) * (c,s volume + 300)
600*X - 300 = (3/2)*(300*X + 300)

600*X -300 = 450*X + 450

150*X =750
X = 5

so a,s volume is 900*5 i.e 4500
