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

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

If a certain weight of an alloy of silver and copper is mixed with $3$ kg of pure silver, the resulting alloy will have $90\%$ silver by weight. If the same weight of the initial alloy is mixed with $2$ kg of another alloy which has $90\%$ silver by weight, the resulting alloy will have $84\%$ silver by weight. Then, the weight of the initial alloy, in kg, is
