    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that   Let Quantity of Butter milk from jar A = 3a Quantity of the cream from jar A = 2a Quantity of butter milk from jar B = 5b Quantity of cream from jar B = 6b Now, butter Milk in jar B = 5 × 5 = 25 liters cream in jar B = 6 × 5 = 30 liters (25 + 3a)/(30 + 2a) = 11/10 330 + 22a = 250 + 30a 8a = 80 a = 10 Quantity of jar A = 5 × 10 = 50 liters
