A and B are two partially filled buckets of water. If 2 liters are transferred from A to B, then A would contain one-third of the amount of water in B. Alternatively, if 2 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 one
A) 11 B) 13 C) 17 D) 21 E) 22/5
Let A contains A, B contains B liters   so, (A-2)/(B+2)= 1/3.......(1) OR 3A-6 =B+2 OR 3A-B =8   again, (B-2)/(A+2)= 1/2..(2) OR 2B-4 =A+2 OR 2B-A =6   from (1)(2) we find A= 22/5   ans: 22/5
