A bartender stole champagne from a bottle containing 50% of spirit and he replaced what he stolen with champagne containing 20% spirit. The bottle then contained only 25% spirit. How much of bottle did he steal?

1) 80%
2) 83.33%
3) 83.88%
4) 85.71%

• Considering the situation as mixing 20% spirit into 50% spirit making 25% spirit champagne This is a alligation problem
  so, 20 25 50
  25 5
  5 1
  So, mixed in the ratio of 5:1 means bartender mixed 20% spirit into original 50% spirit in the ratio of 5:1 Means 5/6 of the bottle is stoled by bartender which is 5/6*100 = 83.33%
