depends on the quantity contained in each jar.

five liter of first one ,9 liters of second one and 12 liters of third one all mixed will give 26 liters and hence ratio will be 12:14or6:7alok Kumar

The quantity of spirit/Water is 9/10 or 91% approx.

ANS : Cannot be determined

The question doesnt specify the jars are of the same size. Its only when we know the  relation between the sizes of the jars that we can find the ratio of spirit to water.

see nothing was mentioned regarding the size of the jars... and if supposed to be equal then the final ratio tends to be 21.1:21 or 211:210

solution can be derived as shown...

given ratio's are 3:2, 4:5 and 5:7 spirit:water

and so now making them ratioes to the common base.. we get

10.5:7, 5.6:7 and 5:7 and so if all the three are mixed the ration in the new jar wud be 211:210

263:277

this is correct bcoz
ratio of spirit=3/5+4/9+5/12
                    =263/180
ratio of water=2/5+5/9+7/12
                      =277/180

final mixture of spirit to water= 263/277

assume 3:2 means 3liters(L) : 2 liters(L)
similarly 4:5 means  4L : 5L
              5:7     "       5L : 7L

therefore after mixing we get, 3L+4L+5L=12L  of water          
                                                 2L+5L+7L=14L of spirit
                                          
                                               =>  12:14=6:7

LCM ( (3+2), (4+5), (5+7))

i.e LCM (5, 9, 12) = 180.

Assume that all 3 containers having 180 L each....

then spirit content in first is 108, in second 80, in third 75
and
water content in first is 72, i second 100, in third 105

total spirit content = (108 + 80 + 75 ) = 263 L
water content = (72 + 100 + 105) = 277 L

So, now the ratio of spirit to water is 263 : 277
