A mixture contain spirit and water in the ratio 3 : 2. If 2 litres of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 5 : 4. Find the quantity of spirit in the mixture (in litres).

A.

15

B.

20

C.

25

D.

10

Correct option is A

Let the spirit and water be 3x and 2x

3x2x+2=54\frac{3x}{2x+2} = \frac{5}{4}​​

12x = 10x + 10

2x = 10

x= 5

Quantity of spirit = 3x = 3×5 = 15
