Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

% of water in the mixture

= \(\frac{\text{Total Amount of water}}{\text{Total quantity of spirit}}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\)

\(\frac{3(\frac{20}{100}) + 5 (\frac{15}{100})}{3 + 5}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\)

= \(\frac{\frac{6}{10} + \frac{75}{100}}{8}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\)

= \(\frac{0.6 + 0.75}{8}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\)


= \(\frac{1.35}{8}\) x \(\frac{100}{1}\)

= \(\frac{33.75}{2}\)

= 16.875

= 16\(\frac{7}{8}\)
