Jar A has 36 litres of mixture of milk and water in the respective ratio of 5 : 4 => Quantity of milk in Jar A = 5/9 x 36 = 20 litres Quantity of water in Jar A = 36 - 20 = 16 litres Let quantity of water in Jar B = x litres => Quantity of milk in Jar B = (20 - x) litres Acc. to ques, =>[20 + (20-x)]/(16+x) = 5/3 => 120?3x = 80+5x => 5x +3x = 120?80 => 8x = 40 => 5 litres.
