Three containers whose volumes are in the ratio of 2:3:4 are full of mixture of spirit and water. In the 1st container, the ratio of spirit and water is 4: 1, in the 2nd container the ratio is 11:4 and in the 3rd container ratio is 7:3. All the three mixtures are mixed in a big container, The ratio of spirit and water in the resultant mixture is:

Options

A. `4:9`
B. `11:4`
C. `5:10`
D. `9:5`

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we will first determine the volumes of spirit and water in each container based on the given ratios and their respective volumes.

### Step 1: Determine the volumes of the containers
The volumes of the three containers are in the ratio of 2:3:4. Let's assume the volumes of the containers are:
- Container 1: 2x
- Container 2: 3x
- Container 3: 4x
