Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say Container Capacity = 9C

Water = 9C

Syrup = (5/9)9C = 5C

Let say He Used Syrup = 5S

Then Water Used = 5S + (2/5)5S = 7S

Amount Of Mixture = 5S + 7S = 12S

Water Left = 9C - 7S

Syrup Left = 5C - 5S

9C - 7S = 5C - 5S

=> 4C = 2S

=> C = S/2

Originally water = 9S/2

Originally Syrup = 5S/2

Syrup Used = 5S > 5S/2 Original Syrup

=> There is mistake in Data
