Two equal containers are filled with a mixture of water and petrol. One of them contains three times as much petrol as in the other. The mixtures in the two containers are then mixed and it is found that the ratio of water to petrol is 3: 2: Find the ratio of water to petrol in each of the original containers. Choose one:
A) 2:1, 3:4
B) 1:3, 1:2
C) 2: 3, 4: 1
D) 2: 5, 4: 1
E) None of the above
In the new mixture, water : petrol = 3 : 2 = 12 : 8   =&gt; The capacity of each container =(12 + 8)/2=

<output>10</output>
10 units= &gt;The ratios of water to petrol of the containers are 4 : 6 and 8 : 2   = 2 : 3 and 4 : 1   ANSWER:2: 3, 4: 1
