a man buys a spirit at rs60/litre,adds water to it and then sells it at RS75/litre.what is the ratio of spirit to water if his profit in the deal is 75%

• c.p of spirit is 60/lit
  s.p of 1 lit of mixture is 75
  gain 75%
  c.p of 1 lit of mixtre=(100/175)*75=300/7
  by rule of aligation (60-300/7)/(300/7)=5:2

• 75% of 60 rupees=45,so tatal have to earn=60+45=105
  for 75 rupee=1 lit
  so for 105 rupee=(1/75)*105=7/5 lit
  1 lit spit already in sol so water=1-7/5=2/5
  so s/w=1/(2/5)=5/2
