Option 1: $7 \frac{2}{3}$ litres
Option 2: $9 \frac{1}{3}$ litres
Option 3: $11 \frac{2}{3}$ litres
Option 4: $13 \frac{1}{3}$ litres
Correct Answer: $11 \frac{2}{3}$ litres
Solution : The ratio of liquid A and B = 5 : 3 Quantity of liquid added in B = 3 litres The ratio of liquid A and B after addition = 7 : 6 Let the quantity of the two liquids A and B be $5x$ and $3x$ respectively. According to the question, $\frac{(5x)}{(3x + 3)} = \frac{7}{6}$ $⇒ 30x = 21x + 21$ $⇒ 9x = 21$ $⇒ x = \frac{21}{9} = \frac{7}{3}$ $\therefore$ Quantity of liquid A in mixture $=5 \times \frac{7}{3} = \frac{35}{3} = 11\frac{2}{3}$ litres Hence, the correct answer is $11\frac{2}{3}$ litres.
