Answer:
By the alligation rule, we find that wine containing 30% of spirit and wine containing 12% of spirit should be mixed in the ratio 1:2 to produce a mixture containing18% of spirit.
Ratio = 6: 12 = 1:2
this means that 13rd of the butt of sherry was left, i.e. to say, the butler frew out 23rd of the butt.
∴23rd of the butt was stolen.
