Saraswathy  (10 years ago)

Let d size of container A is "x"
then B's size ll be "2x"

A is half full of wine -- >x/2
So remaining "x/2" of A contains water

B is quarter full of win --> 2x/4 --> x/2
So remaining ==> 2x - x/2 = 3x/2
3x/2 of B contains water

Totally C has A's content + B's Content = x + 2x =3x
Wine portion in C = x/2 of "A" + x/2 of "B"
==> x portion of wine

Water portion in C = x/2 of "A" + 3x/2 of "B"
==> 4x/2 ==> 2x portion of water

So portion of wine in C is
x/3x =1/3 portion of wine

if v expressed in %
1/3 * 100 = 33.33%

Ans : 33.33% of wine

In container A::: wine:water::1:1
hence, 'x' amount of wine and 'x' amount of water.

In container B::: wine:water::1:3
hence 'x' amount of wine and '3x' amount of water.

total amount= wine 2x, water 4x
hence, wine:water::1:2
therefore, portion of wine is 1/3 of the total mixture or, 33.33%

A cap is 2 lit = 1 lit water + 1 lit wine
B cap is 4 lit = 1 lit wine + 3 lit water
Total we have 2 lit wine + 4 lit water
The portion of wine is 2/6
=1/3 or 33.33%

Rashi Agarwal  (10 years ago)

33.33% of wine as suppose let A's capacity is 500ml and wine will be 250ml,B's capacity will be 1000ml and wine will be 250ml then total wine will be be 500ml and total water will be 1000ml so total soln will be 1500ml then wine portion will be (500/1500)*100=33.33%.
