. a container B has twice capacity of A. container A is half filled with wine. container B is one fourth filled with wine. remaining portion is added with water in each container. then they are evacuated in to a third container which could hold the above capacity. find the ratio of wine to volume of last container?

• B=2A
  The capacity of 3rd container=A+B=A+2A=3A
  total wine=A/2+A/2=A(because B/4=2A/4=A/2)
  Ratio=A/3A=1:3

• let a be 100 lt, 50 lt is wine
  b be 200 lt, 50 lt is wine
  c be 300 lt, 100 lt is wine
  so 100:300 = 1:3

• let b volume is 4x
  so a volume is 2x
  ...
  now a is half filled with wine so x volume
  and..
  b is 1/4 filled so x volume
  
  remaining portion in a=2x-x=x
  remaining portion in b=4x-x=3x
  So total 4x part including a & b is filled with water...
  When both are mixed...
  wine is=2x
  and vol of 3rd container is 6x..
  so ratio is 2/6=1/3
