Solutions A, B and C contain alcohol and water in the ratio of 3 : 7, 4 : 11 and 2 : 3, respectively. Four litres of A, five litres of B and three litres of C are mixed in a vessel. The percentage of alcohol in the resulting solution in the vessel is closest to:

  • A32%
  • B31%
  • C28%
  • D30%
Correct answer: B

Explanation

Alcohol = 4 × 3/10 + 5 × 4/15 + 3 × 2/5 = 1.2 + 1.333 + 1.2 = 3.733 litres in 12 litres, which is about 31.1%.
