      Question

      The ratio of the volumes of containers A, B, and C is

      5:3:2 respectively. Volume of container D is 7 liters less than that of container A. If the difference between the volumes of container A and container C is 30 liters, what is the ratio of volume of container B to container D?
      A 10:13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 30:43 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20:31 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 13:10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let volumes be 5x, 3x, and 2x respectively. 
      Volume of D = 5x - 7

      ATQ, 
      5x - 2x = 30 
      Or, 3x = 30 
      Or, x = 10

      B = 3 × 10 = 30 
      D = 5 × 10 - 7 = 43

      Required ratio = 30:43
