There are two containers on a table. A and B. A is half full of wine, while B,which is twice A's size, is one quarter full of wine. Both containers are filled with water and the contents are poured into a third container C. What portion of container C's mixture is wine?

• 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%

• 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%.

• 1:1 + 3:1 = 4:2 = 2:1 ...therefore,C contains 1/3rd wine

• practically:
  assumes A containes 1 ltr water& 1 ltr wine
  B containes 3 ltr water & 1 ltr wine
  then C contain 2 ltr wine & 4 ltr water among 6 ltr wine containes 2 ltr then it is 33.33333%
