A and B are two partially filled buckets of water. If 3 liters are transferred from A to B, then A would contain one-third of the amount of water in B. Alternatively, if 5 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 choice:
A) 11
B) 13
C) 39/5
D) 21
E) 23
Let A contains A, B contains B liters   so, (A-3)/(B+3)= 1/3.......(1)   again, (B-5)/(A+5)= 1/2..........(2)   from (1)(2) we find A= 39/5   ans: (39/5)
