two vessels contain a mixture of spirit and water . in the first vessel the ratio of spirit to water is 8:3 and in the second vessel ratio is 5:1 .A 35 litre cask is filled from these vessel so as to contain a mixture of spirit and water in ratio of 4:1. how many litres are taken from first vessel.

• Let, x lits taken from first vessel
  so from second vessel (35-x)
  so, (8x/11 + 5(35-x)/6):(3x/11 + (35-x)/6)=4:1
  => x=11
  Hence, 11 litres are taken from first vessel.

• in 35 liter sprit=35*4/5 lit=28 lit.
  water=35*1/5 lit=7 lit.
  so we take 11 lit from first vessels..in 11 lit sprit=8 lit and water= 3 lit..(first vessels sprit:water=8:3)
  and take 24 lit from second vessels...in 24 lit sperit=20 lit and water =4 lit..(second vessels sprit:water=5:1)
  so ans is 11 lit...

• Ans:11 liter
  Solving Through option is the best Way for this question..
  Take ll liter and fit the condition
  If First vessel contains 11 liter it means 8 liter spirit and 3 liter water..
  Also it means Second vessel contains 24 liter it means 20 liter spirit and
  4 liter water...
  Total Spirit=28 liter
  Total water=7 liter
  4/5*35=28
  1/5835=7
