Consider three mixtures - the first having water and liquid A in the ratio $1: 2$, the second having water and liquid B in the ratio $1: 3$, and the third having water and liquid $C$ in the ratio $1: 4$. These three mixtures of $A, B,$ and $C$, respectively, are further mixed in the proportion $4:3:2$. Then the resulting mixture has

Two alcohol solutions, $A$ and $B$, are mixed in the proportion $1:3$ by volume. The volume of the mixture is then doubled by adding solution $A$ such that the resulting mixture has $72 \%$ alcohol. If solution $A$ has $60 \%$ alcohol, then the percentage of alcohol in solution $B$ is

A trader sells $10$ litres of a mixture of paints $A$ and $B$, where the amount of $B$ in the mixture does not exceed that of $A$. The cost of paint A per litre is Rs. $8$ more than that of paint B. If the trader sells the entire mixture for Rs. $264$ and makes a profit of $10 \%$, then the highest possible cost of paint B, in Rs. per litre, is
