11. A farmer wishes to mix 67ml chemical-A, 48ml chemical-B, and 32ml chemicalC into 5l water to
spray his plants according to the formula of different commercial brand. One bottle of commercial
brand I would contains 7ml chemical-A, 5ml chemical-B and 1ml chemical-C; one bottle of
commercial brand II would contain 3ml chemical-A, 2ml chemical-B and 2ml chemical-C; while one
