Best answer 2 votes 2 votes Let 'a' ltr be taken from first container and 'b' ltr be taken from second. $\frac{5}{6}\ast a+\frac{1}{4}\ast b = \frac{1}{6}\ast a+\frac{3}{4}\ast b$ $\frac{4}{6}\ast a=\frac{2}{4}\ast b$ $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3}{4}$ aakashpreetam answered Apr 16, 2018 selected Apr 17, 2018 by Arjun aakashpreetam 118 points comment Share See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
