Let capacity of A = A
so, capacity of B = 2A
capacity of C = 6A

# of red in A: $$\frac{1}{3}A$$, # of white in A: $$\frac{2}{3}A$$

# of red in B: $$\frac{2}{3}2A$$, # of white in B: $$\frac{1}{3}2A$$

# of red in C: $$\frac{1}{3}6A$$, # of white in C: $$\frac{2}{3}6A$$

# of red in D: $$\frac{1}{3}A + \frac{2}{3}2A+\frac{1}{3}6A=\frac{11}{3}A$$, # of white in D: $$\frac{2}{3}A+\frac{1}{3}2A+\frac{2}{3}6A=\frac{16}{3}A$$

$$\frac{white in D}{red in D} = \frac{16}{3}A/\frac{11}{3}A=\frac{16}{11}$$

Box A 1R:2W total 3 marbles
Box B twice the capacity of A is 6 marbles with ratio 2R:1W is 4R:2W
Box C trice the capacity of B is 18 marbles with ratio 1R:2W is 6R:12W
Box D sum of all the marbles 11R:16W
Questions asks the ratio of white to red, so the answer is E 16/11
