A spirit and water solution is sold in a market. The cost per liter of the solution is directly proportional to the part (fraction) of spirit (by volume) the solution has. A solution of 1 liter of spirit and 1 liter of water costs 60 cents. How many cents does a solution of 1 liter of spirit and 2 liters of water cost?  Select the correct option:  A) 13  B) 33  C) 50  D) 51  E) 60

Rationale: "yes , ensure that you understand the relation thoroughly ! cost per liter = k * fraction of spirit 60 cents is the cost of 2 liters of solution ( 1 part water , 1 part spirit ) . so cost per liter is 30 cents . fraction of spirit is 1 / 2 . 30 = k * ( 1 / 2 ) k = 60 cost per liter = 60 * ( 1 / 3 ) ( 1 part spirit , 2 parts water ) cost for 3 liters = 60 * ( 1 / 3 ) * 3 = 50 cents e . 60 cents"
Answer: E
