Two vessels A and B contain mixtures of spirit and water. A mixture of 3 parts from A and 2 parts from B is found to contain 29% of spirit and a mixture of 1 part from A and 9 parts from B is found to contain 34 per cent of spirit. Find the percentage of spirit in A and B.
Choose the correct option:
A) 35, 25
B) 40, 20
C) 25, 35
D) 50, 50
E) none of these
Let X% be the percentage of spirit in A and Y% in B   3X/100 + 2Y/100 = 29% of (3 + 2)   3X/100 + 2Y/100 = 1.45   3X + 2Y = 145 ----------(i)   X/100 + 9Y/100 = (34/100) x 10   X + 9Y = 340 ----(ii)   Solving (i) and (ii) we get X = 25 and Y = 35   A contains 25% spirit and B contains 35% of spirit.   35, 25NSWER:35, 25
