There are two containers the first contain, 1 litre pure water and the second contains 1 litre of pure milk. Now 5 cups of water from the first container is taken out is mixed well in the second container. Then 5 cups of this mixture is taken out and is mixed in the first container. Let A denote the proportion of milk in the first container and B denote the proportion of water in the second container then:

A

a. `AltB`

B

b. `A=B`

C

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving the two containers and the transfers of liquid between them. ### Step 1: Initial Setup - **Container A**: Contains 1 litre of pure water. - **Container B**: Contains 1 litre of pure milk. ### Step 2: Transfer from Container A to Container B - We take out 5 cups of water from Container A and transfer it to Container B. - Since 1 cup is approximately 0.236 litres, 5 cups is approximately 1.18 litres. However, since we are only dealing with 1 litre of water in Container A, we can assume that we are transferring 0.5 litres (which is equivalent to 5 cups) of water to Container B. After this transfer: - **Container A**: 0.5 litres of water (1 litre - 0.5 litres) - **Container B**: 1 litre of milk + 0.5 litres of water = 1.5 litres of mixture (which is 1 litre of milk and 0.5 litres of water). ### Step 3: Mixing in Container B - The mixture in Container B now consists of 1 litre of milk and 0.5 litres of water. - The proportion of milk in Container B is \( \frac{1}{1.5} = \frac{2}{3} \) and the proportion of water is \( \frac{0.5}{1.5} = \frac{1}{3} \). ### Step 4: Transfer from Container B back to Container A - Now we take out 5 cups (0.5 litres) of the mixture from Container B and transfer it back to Container A. - The mixture taken out contains \( \frac{2}{3} \) litre of milk and \( \frac{1}{3} \) litre of water. ### Step 5: Final Contents of the Containers - **Container A**: - Initially had 0.5 litres of water. - After adding back the mixture (0.5 litres), it now has: - Water: \( 0.5 + \frac{1}{3} \) litres = \( \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \) litres of water. - Milk: \( \frac{2}{3} \) litres of milk. - **Container B**: - Initially had 1 litre of milk and 0.5 litres of water. - After removing 0.5 litres of the mixture, it now has: - Water: \( 0.5 - \frac{1}{3} \) litres = \( \frac{3}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \) litres of water. - Milk: \( 1 - \frac{2}{3} \) litres = \( \frac{3}{3} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \) litres of milk. ### Step 6: Proportions - **Proportion of Milk in Container A (A)**: - Total liquid in Container A = \( \frac{5}{6} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{6} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{9}{6} = 1.5 \) litres. - Proportion of milk \( A = \frac{\frac{2}{3}}{1.5} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{9} \). - **Proportion of Water in Container B (B)**: - Total liquid in Container B = \( \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \) litres. - Proportion of water \( B = \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{1}{3} \). ### Conclusion - The final proportions are: - Proportion of milk in Container A \( A = \frac{4}{9} \) - Proportion of water in Container B \( B = \frac{1}{3} \)
