(B) In the first cask ($48$ $litres$): Wine $= \frac{13}{20} 	imes 48 = 31.2$ $litres$,Water $= \frac{7}{20} 	imes 48 = 16.8$ $litres$.In the second cask ($42$ $litres$): Wine $= \frac{18}{35} 	imes 42 = 21.6$ $litres$,Water $= \frac{17}{35} 	imes 42 = 20.4$ $litres$.Total wine $= 31.2 + 21.6 = 52.8$ $litres$.Total water $= 16.8 + 20.4 = 37.2$ $litres$.After adding $20$ $litres$ of water,total water $= 37.2 + 20 = 57.2$ $litres$.The ratio of wine to water $= 52.8 : 57.2 = 528 : 572$.Dividing both by $44$,we get $12 : 13$.
