    Question

    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
