Three containers A, B and C have volumes a, b, and c respectively; and container A is full of water while the other two are empty. If from container A water is poured into container B which becomes 1/3 full, and into container C which becomes 1/2 full, how much water is left in container A?

• total water in b and c container=b/3 + c/2
  now,
  Water in a container is= a-(b/3 + c/2)
  Ans is- (6a-2b+3c)/6

• The volume in of container A initially is a
  The volume after pouring to B is a-b/3
  The volume after pouring to C is a-b/3-c/2

• water left in container A = a- b/3 - c/2

• A ?
  B 1/3
  c 1/2
  1/3x1/2=1/6
  A = 1/6

• Suppose total water = 1.
  we can start from container C,
  C have 1/2 of water,
  so B have 1/3+1/2 = 5/6
  so C have 1 - ( 5/6 ) = 1/6 ans.
  if ans is in a,b,c form than it will be
  a - ( b/3 + c/2 ) ans.

• as no relation given between a,b,c so we cannot find any value so
  volume left will be a-(1/3)b-(1/2)c

• a-(b/3+c/2)
