Correct Answer :

Option A

7

Solution :

The correct option is 7 (or Option 7 liters).

Step 1: Understand the initial ratio in container B
The ratio of juice to water in container B is given as 4:3.

When a mixture is drawn from a container, the ratio of its components (juice and water) in the removed portion remains the same as in the original container.

Step 2: Find the quantities of juice and water taken out
Total volume of mixture taken out = 21 liters

Total parts of the ratio = 4+3=7 parts

Quantity of juice taken out and poured into container C:
Juice in C initially=47×21=12 liters

Quantity of water taken out and poured into container C:
Water in C=37×21=9 liters

Step 3: Account for the added pure juice
4 liters of pure juice are added to container C.
New quantity of juice in C=12+4=16 liters
Quantity of water in C=9 liters

Step 4: Calculate the difference between juice and water in container C
Difference=16-9=7 liters

Thus, the difference between the quantities of juice and water in container C is 7 liters.
