Answer»

As per GIVEN data-

Initial fruit SYRUP to water ratio is 3 ? 5.

Let X is multiplication CONSTANT in ratio.

∴ Barrel contains 3X quantity of fruit syrup & 5X quantity of water.

When 4 liters of water is added in barrel NEW ratio of syrup to water becomes 1 ? 2

3X/(5X + 4) = 1/2

∴ 3X × 2 = 5X + 4

∴ 6X = 5X + 4

∴ X = 4 liters

∴ Quantity of fruit syrup = 3X = 3 × 4 = 12 liters

∴ Answer is 12 liters.
