Bottle A is 40% filled with water and Bottle B is 30% filled with water, Another Bottle C can be completely filled by pouring either 10% of the content of bottle A or 20% of the content of bottle B. What is the ratio of the capacity of bottle A to bottle B?

• 10% of 40% of A = 20% of 30% of B
  => 4% of A = 6% of B => 4A = 6B
  => A/B = 6/4 = 3/2 = 3:2

• Let capacity of A = x and capacity of B = y
  
  ATQ,
  Content of A = 0.4x and content of B = 0.3y
  Hence , Total capacity of C = 10% of content of A = 20% of content of B
  => 10% of 0.4x = 20% of 0.3y
  =>(0.4/2)x = 0.3y
  => x/y = 6/4
  =>x/y = 3 : 2

• 10×40/10000=a
  20×30/100/100=b
  A:b =2:3
