A and B are two partially filled buckets of water. If 5 liters are transferred from A to B, then A would contain one-third of the amount of water in B. Alternatively, if 3 liters are transferred from B to A, B would contain one-half of the amount of water in A. Bucket A contains how many liters of water?  Choose the correct answer:	A) 11	B) 13	C) 17	D) 49/5	E) 23
Let A contains A, B contains B liters   so, (A-5)/(B+5)= 1/3.......(1)   again, (B-3)/(A+3)= 1/2..........(2)   from (1)(2) we find A= 49/5   ans: (49/5)
