b)1/3

Let assume that 1st bottle capacity = 1Litre;

Therefore, it contain 1/2 litre Oil and 1/2 litre water .
(i.e) Water = 1/2 litre
Oil = 1/2 litre

2nd bottle is twice the capacity
i.e. 2 litre capacity
It means, 1/2litre filled with oil and 1(1/2)litre filled with water.
i.e. Oil = 1/2 liter
Water = 1(1/2)litre

In total the third bottle will contain,
1 litre oil and 2 litre water.
i.e., Oil = 1 litre
Water = 2 liter

Therefore, oil proportion is 1/3
