Spirit part in a mixture is 1/4.
Water part in a mixture s 3/4.
The spirit volume is added in percentage is 25% which comes 1 for 4.
Total parts are 5, spirit part is 2 and water part is 3. The resultant ratio is 2:3.

The problem how 2/5*(1210)comes?
a+b = 1210 and now we got ratio a/b = 3/2,
So,add +1 both side,
a/b+1=3/2+1
a+b/b = 5/2.
Now b=2/5(a+b) = 2/5(1210) = 484.
a+b = 1210 and now we got ratio a/b = 3/2,
So,add +1 both side,
a/b+1=3/2+1
a+b/b = 5/2.
Now b=2/5(a+b) = 2/5(1210) = 484.
