Explanation:

Concentration of petrol in A B C

1/2 3/5 4/5

Quantity of petrol taken from A = 1 litre out of 2 litre
Quantity of petrol taken from B = 1.8litre out of 3 litre
Quantity of petrol taken from C = 0.8 litre out of 1 litre
Therefore, total petrol taken out from A, B and C = 1+1.8+0.8 =3.6 litres
So, the quantity of kerosen =(2+3+1) - 3.6 =2.4 litre
Thus, the ratio of petrol to kerosene = 3.6/2.4 = 3/2
